The area that has blanched was spot treated with a Modified Jessners peel. The ingredients of that peel are Lactic Acid (14%), Salicylic Acid (14%), Kojic Acid (3%) and Citric Acid. It was applied by a professional and was supposed to be good for sensitive skin types. Should I be worried? I have had a chemical peel in the past without any complications. What would you suggest that I treat these areas with to avoid any adverse reactions? And how long can this last?... Thank you.

This is likely a case of keratosis pilaris and for this condition we use a combination of Melapads and chemical peels to help reduce the spots. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Once you prep your skin with Melarase creams, a TCA chemical peel like the Obagi peel and fractional laser can help smoothe the wrinkles and sun damage on the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
