Day 6 of VI Peel and cheeks won't peel

Question

I am african american and I had my first VI Peel on 12/20/2013. My chin and forehead have peeled already, but my cheeks still have thick black skin. The skin under looks red. It itches a lot. Should I be concerned about scarring. Can the peel cause keloid scar?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Vipeel chemical peels can cause post treatment redness, itching, 
dryness, and ironically, hyperpigmentation. Early post-peel care is 
vital. I would use a curated combination of Covalent peels, fractional 
laser, and topical creams to treat the skin after a Vipeel. Start with 
Elevase to help with dryness of the skin. Melarase creams are ideal to 
combat pigmentation.
