I believe my recent chemical peel wasn't applied correctly. I had one other peel before this one with much better results. All was ok until about 2 days ago I noticed tiny bumps all over my face. After the peel I started using a new mosturizer with spf 30. I forgot to apply the mosturizer on Wednesday while I was in the sun. I am not sure if the bumps are due to the chemical peel, the new product or the sun exposure. What can I do to get rid of the bumps? I applied hydrocortisone will this help?

Answer: Bumps after chemical peel Your question is missing crucial elements such as what kind of peel you had and when it was done. But the best thing you can do for yourself is STAY OUT OF THE SUN! Please stop using the new moisturizer too. It is likely the bumps will resolve on their own. Please see your doctor who did the peel, and not someone on this forum, if they do not. Good luck!

Answer: How to Get Rid of Bumps After Chemical Peel Thanks for your question and I am sorry you are having issues following your peel. The first thing is to connect with your provider and find out what kind of peel you had done, which is important here. Having a mild acne breakout post-peel is not uncommon in many patients following a peel. And what was the specific post-peel skin care you used besides the new moisturizer. The new moisturizer can have ingredients that you can be having a reaction to, so it is prudent to stop this as well. We recommend that all of these kinds of procedure, like peels, be performed in offices of board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons and that the aestheticians there have specific skin care routines that are given post-peels to minimize any potential adverse events and to maximize the results of the peels themselves.
