just wondering if anyone has tried this? i googled glycolic chemical peel before and after and it looks like this peel works great on acne scars that look similar to my HS scars. considering going to the derm and seeing if this is an option for my HS scars. anyone have any experience with this or other chemical peels?

I know that there are so many treatments for serious scarring and that is one of the reasons why I haven't completely lost it with my HS.
Once my sores close and I can get the turmeric to stop my HS from the inside (the draining) I plan to see a plastic surgeon someone who specialized in extreme scars for accidents.
I did googled "glycolic chemical peel before and after' and it looks like it works great for acne scars but I think the scars from HS are really much more intense. Acne scars don't go down as far as HS scaring does and the areas HS scaring effects is just not optional!
That's just my opinion but I can't wait to start something for these scars!
