You need to consult your doctor if you have cold sores over you face, after a peel.
It is usual to get some redness, occasional blisters - but if you have developed cold sores, you need to return to your doctor, since you may need to be started on a course of antiviral drugs. Inflammation, blisters along with cold sores triggered by a chemical peel, may indicate eczema herpeticum due to herpes virus and needs your doctor's urgent attention.
