I don't recommend chemical peel for back scars

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Can I get a chemical peel for scars on my back?

Can you use a chemical peel for white scarring on the back?

Hello,

Peeling for scars is often quite "hit or miss." And this is for treatment on the face where it is usually the best. On the back, where the blood supply is not nearly as good, I wouldn't recommend it.

Helpful?
