what is the best treatment for a chemical peel burn on lower face and chin? My 19 year old daughter with sensitive fair skin and moderate acne under the skin had a facial as she does monthly, but was waxed 1st and then had a stronger peel. Now it is red ... tight...extremely dry, rough skin that is visably burned. Peeling some with red new skin under. All prerty bad. Leaving for Africa in a few days. Needs help. I saw that cetaphil cream and 1% cortisone or (is hydrocortisone best) would be good. Also saw a sugestion of aquaphor.

A: Treating a chemical peel burn

I agree with the recommendations so far. Using Aquaphor or vaseline for 3-4 days, followed by a bland, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) moisturizer such as Cetaphil, CeraVe or any over-the-counter moisturizer made for sensitive skin. A mild cortisone cream such as 1% hydrocortisone can be added to the moisturizer for a few days to help calm the inflammation. Remember to use a good daily sunblock of at least SPF 30 since her skin will be extra sensitive!

Is It Necessary to Repeat AHA Chemical Peeling 4 Times? I've done an AHA peeling on my face.MY physician ask me to repeat it 4 times.But I don't want though.It's so annoying until recovery.I can't go outside with a peeling skin.I'm still a student and I can't concentrate on my studies.Please I need an advice.Should I need to repeat the peeling?If I don't will it have any bad effects?

A: Repetition of AHA peels

If you already have the desired result from one peel, you are certainly not obligated to have further peels. Additional chemical peels can help to maintain that desired effect, but there is definitely no hard rule that 4 is the magic number. It all depends on the individual being treated. There will not be any "bad effects" if you decide not to get additional peels.

	“Chemical Peels Were a Big Waste of Money” I have hyperpigmentation from years of back acne and I am Indian American so I have brown skin. I went to this group b/c they were "experts" with ethnic skin. They told me the peels would definitely help and even though I also had hypertrophic (raised scars) they said it should work. So they had a contract set at 6 peels for $2400 and they said probably 8 peels would be best and... more
	“Impressed by the Results” I had my medium peel done by my plastic surgeon a few months after having done an upper eyelid lift and rhinoplasty, all of which i'd also recommend. It was a bit uncomfortable but not painful. It looked like a mild sunburn right after. I am 41 and have fair skin with some wrinkles and sun damage spots. A couple of days after the peel, my skin began to peel. It took about 7-9 days for it to... more
	“The LONGEST Peel Ever!! But Was All...” I was very excited to start my at home TCA 12% peel. Initially, I read and re-read the directions and blogs concerning the dangers of a peel. At the end, I was convinced that this would be in my best interest to at least experience. The one and only warning I wish they really underlined and that I wish to for you is that you must have some down time [NO WORK OR OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES] while... more
	“Chemical Peel and NOTHING Has Changed” I had a combination TCA peel (12.5% TCA) two weeks ago and hate the results. Wait, let me rephrase: I hate the LACK of results! My skin is typical of someone in her mid-40s and my plastic surgeon recommended a chemical peel as a good way to get rid of fine lines and light wrinkles. He said the procedure would be easier than anything he could do for me, and they have a health spa on site... more
