Chemical Peel on Neck Peeling Twice- Is This Normal? (photo)

I had a chemical peel (Jessner with 25% TCA) on my neck and chest a week ago. It completely peeled but left two very red and sensitive spots on each side of my neck. Even though I have continued to keep the skin moisturized the red spots are crusting again. Is this normal for skin to peel twice in one session?

A: Aggressive peel

The combo peel you had was, in my opinion, a bit strong for this area.  You should seek treatment from a local dermatologist or plastic surgeon, so as to avoid the potential for scar formation in this area.  You may need some steroid treatments, as well as local wound care.

Which Chemical Peel is Best for Dark Brown and Red Marks on Face from Acne, TCA or Glycolic?

i have never undergone a chemical peel treatment and im planning to have one this month. should i go for tca or glycolic peeling? i have dark brown and red marks on my face due to acne. pls help me.

A: Best peel for me?

Acne scarring is challenging to fix.  Your skin type (Fitzpatrick 4) is also a challenge - as it is more prone to pigmentation problems with any peel or ablative laser.  Doing a test patch in an inconspicuous area is a good idea.  In general, I would start cautiously with you.  Glycolic or beta peel as a first, small step.

Does Your Skin Have to Be Pre-treated for a Chemical Peel?

or with a light/superficial peel, like glycolic or salicylic acid can you do it right away?

A: Skin preparation prior to chemical peel

No, you do not have to do anything prior to a chemical peel.  With that being said, it also depends on what your goals.  If you have a lot of sun damage, I would recommend starting a "skin brightening" regimen approximately 4 weeks prior to peel.  3 weeks on and stop 1 week before.  This will help prep your skin so that the chemical peel can penetrate.

Again, there is no right way or wrong way.  I would recommend seeing a paramedical aesthetician so that she may give you a full skin analysis and her recommendations.
