On 3rd august i just did at 12% fruit (chemical) peel on my legs. Skin felt dry and itchy , some area starts to flake and as i wasn't aware of the after care, i went to peel the flaking skin and my skin looks pink, smooth and rather raw. (As shown in the attached picture) does that look normal to you ? Or is there a complication? Will it cause further scarring Or is that just part of the normal process of healing? Please help!
I had my first chemical peel 2 days ago, and have been applying The Post-Procedure Solution by PCA Skin. After 24 hours, I began with one itchy spot on my forehead and now, 48 hours later, my entire forehead (from temple to temple) has a bumpy rash. It's not red; more skin tone, but I'm not scratching it. The rest of my face is fine. Is this normal or am I having an allergic reaction? What should I do?
I'm a South asian..I did a salycilic+glycolic peel 3days ago..now my skin is experiencing brown patches..with itchy red bumpy rashes..i have burning sensation too..application of Vaseline helped relieving of it..now my whole face has darkened... I'm afraid that this condition persist life long
I recently had a facial including extractions, product and a fruit enzyme peel and I believe something with lactic acid. It's been two weeks and my skin is still broken out in a rash and itchy. I normally have very dry skin but after my morning routine the glow mistakes people for oily and it's not. What have I done wrong and how do I proceed?
Hi. My knees have been the darkest part of my skin. I looked for treatments that would make it even and I've tried yellow peeling oil. It felt fine for the first three days and I wore dresses. Then on the fourth (done applying the oil) it started to become really itchy. I applied Hydrocortisone cream before I slept and when I woke up, my knees are too red. I thought it will go away once peeling has finished but no! It's still red as scarlet. Is this still normal? What should I do?
I had a light chemical peel done 5 days ago for light acne and acne marks. I still have some peeling but the peeling and dryness are significantly reduced. But there are times when certain areas of my face get really itchy and develop into small raised red bumps like whiteheads/mosquito bite. I try my best not to itch them and notice that they shrink in size after 2 to 3 days. Am I having an allergic reaction? Are these whiteheads from my acne? Or are they simply due to irritation from the peel?
I just had a salicylic acid ( medium depth) chemical peel at a spa. The lady put me on dermalogica ultra calming kit for 2 weeks. I had the peel today and 4 hrs later it still burns. Is it normal? She also gave me sunscreen, hydrocortisone for potential itching and 1% retinol to be applied at night. I've read that retinol should be avoided after a peel. What is the proper aftercare for a chemical peel?
I have melasma and got the melanage peel done a few years ago. I loved the results and would like to do it again. However, I've noticed that when i use hydroquinone cream on mg face I develop patches of red itchy skin. This makes me think I've developed an allergy to hydroquinone. I don't fet this all over my face- just in spots. Does this mean I can't do a melanage peel?
Problem with Vitalize Peel. So had the Skinmedica Vitalize peel done on Tuesday and up until Saturday most skin is peeled off. However the new skin does not look like how i expected. it is pinkish red, it is itchy still. and it looks like it forms a light light scaly wrinkly scab all over the new skin. Honestly the new skin that revealed after layers of skin peeled off looks like I just got a peel done yesterday. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
