That depends on the depth and type of the scars. With few types of peels and derma abrasions depth of the scars can be reduced.

I've been using Morr F 5 solution for a couple of months now for my hair loss, and I'm starting to see some good early results. However, I'm experiencing a lot of flakes, similar to dandruff, on my scalp. I'm pretty sure the alcohol in the solution is causing this. Do you know of any alternative treatments to Morr F that include both Finasteride and Minoxidil but dont have alcohol?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm a bit worried about something. I had a 60 TCA cross done recently, and by the fifth day, I noticed that my skin started turning yellowish-white. I'm really suspecting it might be infected. I've been using terramycin skin ointment, but now I'm seeing some white stuff and pus coming out. Is this kind of reaction normal with this ointment?
