Hi,
I would like to start remodeling the skin on my chest. I just realized that I have Poikiloderma of Civatte. I have mottled pigmented skin, with a chicken flesh appearance and a few blood vessels exposed in the area. It is pretty mild right now and I feel I can get rid of it or that I can really improve it. I am starting with the BND cream.

I am going to use BND during the day and exfoliate with AHAs at night.

Can I do this daily?

Can I eventually move up to Trireduction and stronger acids in this area?

Should I use Retin A in addition to the CPS and AHAs?

My skin is not sensitive to the Trireduction at all. I figured now is the time. Winter is coming and my chest won't be exposed while it is being remodeled. Please advise, so I can purchase the products and commence treatment. Thank you.

Basically you approach this like scar reduction.

The BND in the day and AHAs at night should work. Later, you might use stronger products.

I just don't know what to say about retinoic acid since it now seems to increase the scar forming protein.
