If required to be used on the face, it should be done with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

When treating actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, warts, acne, or melasma, TCA should be applied to the affected area once or twice a week for a duration of up to 8 weeks. It is essential to avoid using TCA on irritated, sunburned skin, or on open wounds.

It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes when using this solution. In case of accidental contact, the area should be rinsed with water immediately. Caution is advised when using this product due to its potential to cause significant irritation and burning. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
