Would a chemical peel work on the back to clear acne? (Photo)

Since young, I have always struggled with cystic acne and hyperpigmentation. I recently broke out of picking extremely, but even without picking I still get scars. I don’t have as much cystic acne, but more of irritated red bumps and then of course hyperpigmentation from my shoulder blades all the way down to my lower back. I wold just like to know if I can get a chemical peel for the back and if there are other options to try as well. Thank you.
