Would a chemical peel repair my chin acne scar skin? (photo)

February 2, 2019
Asked By:prettysir in California, CA

I have extreme facial chin hair which started when I was in college but has gotten worse . I’ve tried plucking my hair but it has only gotten worse which I’ve later developed a large cyst that became infected last year that needed to be cut open and drained. This left a small lump on my chin. I’m not sure if it’s an ingrown hair stuck deep below my skin but I am in need of fixing. My chin hair and acne has been very bothersome . Any tips or recommended treatment will be helpful
