Chemical Peel on Neck Peeling Twice- Is This Normal? (photo)

November 8, 2011
Asked By:JPnTampa in Tampa, FL

I had a chemical peel (Jessner with 25% TCA) on my neck and chest a week ago. It completely peeled but left two very red and sensitive spots on each side of my neck. Even though I have continued to keep the skin moisturized the red spots are crusting again. Is this normal for skin to peel twice in one session?
