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.This message has been edited. Last edited by: smiling,

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.
