I got a chemical peel about 1.6 weeks ago and now i have some small pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads gallore! It did help with previous acne scars, and fine lines. But now my face looks a mess-way worse then it did before. And basically it occured mostly in my T area, this is where I use my differin gel .3. I did quit using it 5 days prior like my derm asked and I guess I was just 'unlucky' enough to suffer side effects of a breakout after the peel. Will dermabrasion help? And when can I do this?

Answer: Hydrafacial treatment after laser or Blue Peel + Melaquin
Prematurely peeling skin after a Blue Peel may leave a dark spot. I ask my patients to use Melarase creams after an Obagi Blue Peel to minimize discoloration. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
