Can I do a chemical peel while on minocycline? Will it increase the chances of PIH or should I be afraid of delayed healing?

Asked By:sumsun in Des Moines, IA

I have Rosacea and adult acne with sensitive, oily skin and blackheads. I am on 100mg minocycline OD plus 10% sulfacetamide lotion twice daily application. My face has totally cleared up. But it looks dull. Can I do a chemical peel while on minocycline? Will it increase the chances of PIH or should I be afraid of delayed healing? In the past when my Rosacea and acne were under control, I had very good results with TCA peels. But I have never used a peel while on antibiotics. Thanks!
