Fredric Haberman, DO · Answer

Why did you have the chemical peel?Was it for acne or acne scars?You are asking about whether you could use triamcinoline .025% ointment on a peel burn.I personally do not advise or prescribe triamcinolone ointment or any other low potency steroid ointment after chemical peels.I would use heavy moisturizers about five times a day unless you have active acne or are prone to have acne and stay out of the sun and wear a hat with a large brim and use sunscreens after you stop peeling.I also recommend following up with the doctor who did the peel.When did you have a peel?Exactly what type of peel was done using what chemicals?What was the exact preparation that was used just prior to the peel?Were you on a topical retinoid at the time of the peel and if you were on one which topical retinoid was it?Please submit a photo of your face so that I can give you more specics.How much are you peeling?
