Ulcers can mean many different things. As noted, this could represent an infection or a herpes zoster outbreak - both of which need immediate treatment. In general, regardless of the depth of a chemical peel, ulcers should not be a permanent result of the procedure. The best thing to do is to visit your doctor.
