A properly performed chemical peel should not result in facial sores or open ulcers. A herpetic infection is a possibility but this would initially appear as a cluster of small blisters. For most deeper chemcial peels patients are treated with an antiviral agent to help prevent this complication. If a chemical peels goes down too deep in an area is can result in a deep skin injury. There are many variables involved including how your skin was initially prepared, what type of peel was done and what agents were used. You should report this finding to your physician as soon as possible to prevent any possible scarring.
