# 3 Brat is terribly affected by acne. It’s really bad, especially on his back, and his face is blotchy too. He is, naturally, very self-conscious about it, and we’ve tried several courses of treatment. The most effective so far has been artificial sunlight. There is, however, a practical problem: The treatment center is in town, he has to go 3 times a week, and he’s in school.
As an alternative to this, I’ve come across a chemical peel treatment that looks promising. One thing is that it’s highly beneficial on ageing skin (I might try it myself…), but if the effect on acne is half as good as they say, it would be worth a try.
It’s not a miracle treatment - the TCA peel cleans the skin deeply, which reduces risk of future acne outbreaks. This means it will take time and diligent use to reduce # 3 Brats’ problems, but he knows that from earlier attempts, and has learned to be patient.
Unlike some of the treatments we’ve tried, it’s not all that expensive either. Actually, the more I read about it, the more I think I’ll need to get a starter kit for myself too. I’ll never have time to groom myself to celebrity standard, but my skin has been sadly neglected as of… forever, and this quick, easy-to-use peeling treatment might just add a little glow to my winter-grey face, with a minimum of effort.
