A couple of weeks ago my mom went to get a face peeling. she says that went they apply the chemicals she had a big burning sensation, but she didnt complaint that much because she figure it was normal. its been 6 weeks so far and her face its still really really red and kinda burn. what can she do about it?
The healing process for peels is different for each type of peel. It does seem that after two weeks, almost any type of peel should be healing and feeling better. The most important thing to do is to call the office where it was done and for her to be seen to be sure she hasn't had a complication (like an infection). They may recommend some over the counter hydrocortisone on a daily basis just to calm down the inflammation, but there is no substitute for having a dermatologist look at her to make sure she's healing properly.
I have had Actinic Keratosis skin cancer in the past on my chest and shoulder.It was removed using some sort of acid and scraping technique. I think I now have a very small patch on the side of my nose. I was wondering if a chemical peel could help this? Thanks
Chemical peels are an excellent "field treatment" for precancerous spots on the skin. Sometimes the procedure may even be covered by insurance. It is also easier on the patient because you come in for the treatment and don't have to worry about putting creams on daily and the peel will even treat areas that aren't yet visible to your doctor's eye!
I received a skin medica vitalize chemical peel from a medi-spa, and the aesthetician put the solution on my face and neck. My face seems to be pretty normal, but my neck is crazy! My facial hair in combination with some peeling was REALLY irritating me, itching like you can't imagine. I very gently shaved my neck, but on the edges there is a stark contrast between where the solution was placed and where it wasn't. Is this scarring? Should I be worried? Or will this blend in a few days?
While it is impossible to diagnose a condition based on one photograph, what I see does not look like scarring right now. It does, however, look quite inflammed. I would recommend using a gentle cleanser and avoiding shaving as much as possible to give that irritation some time to decrease. It would be worth while to obtain some over the counter hydrocortisone as well and use that twice daily. I would also not recommend any further peeling of the neck area- it does tend to be quite a bit more sensitive in most people! Hope this helps.
