I have always had bumpy scaly skin on my chest ever since I remember. It doesn’t hurt - it’s just my skin in that one area. I have been doing research as I absolutely hate my skin there. I’m too embarrassed to wear lower cut shirts. Would chemical peel be a possible option as I know it can cure acne but I also saw it can cure “rough skin” as well. Please advise! Thank you

I would absolutely consult your treating physician immediately since this appears to be an infection from the photo and needs treatment right away. Please keep us posted. Best, Dr. Green
It appears that you have an irritation from the product or a contact dermatitis. I would suggest that you use some hydrocortisone cream for a few days and discontinue the new product. A peel would make it worse. Best, Dr. Green
Hi, typically you are told to avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for a few days before and after since chlorine is very drying on the skin. I would wait a couple more days or follow up with whom ever you got the peel from.
