Chemical burn. Is laser an option?

Question

hello doctors, I have chemical burns, from a peel, around the outside corners of my mouth. they are starting to heal into scar tissue but they are very noticeable. I don't know what to do. is laser an option? can I do another peel once this heals? (silly question).

There are many options, including laser resurfacing to help with any textural changes. At this point, use local wound care and apply Plato's Scar Serum twice daily. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Please post photos and then we can give you an opinion of what is best.  You likely need skin care and wound healing at this point.  Dr. Emer.

Hi jojocherie,Thank you for posting your question. It is hard to answer without a photograph to evaluate. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if there are any treatment options. Hope this helps!Best wishes,Dr. Michael J.

Really need photographs to understand the extent of damage done by the chemical peel.  Laser may be an option I would doubt additional chemical peeling would be beneficial.

Maybe a specific laser therapy would help. But no posted photos? So best to seek in person opinions
