Get professional help on the chemical peel

John P. Di Saia, MD answers: At home chemical peel for dark skin?

I have OCD and I pick at my skin, causing major scars all over my body. I want to try an at-home chemical peel, but have been told that because I have dark skin, those may not be safe. Any advice? Please help!
