Blisters, Swelling, and Redness After Jessner Peel

IT is not uncommon to blister, peel, and sustain reddened areas after a Jessner peel. However, there is a fine line between desirable and expected blistering peeling and potential complications such as excessive depth or adverse reactions as well as potential aggravation of a herpes erruption.
If you have any questions, it is best for you to contact your physician and come in for an examination if necessary. Perhaps you could even transmit a photo if nbecessary to their office.

Thank you for your question. Swelling and redness are common side effects.  Blisters and weeping skin are uncommon.  keep your skin clean and  apply neosporin or aquaphor if allergic to neosporin, to blistered area.  For itchiness, you can use some hydrocortisone cream and moisturize with cetaphil cream.  I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist for safest and best treatment option. I hope this helps.

Jessner's chemical peels is one of more conservative rejuvenation procedure; however, it really needs to be performed under supervision of board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. What you are describing may be consistent with possible infection, viral (herpes cold sore virus) or bacterial (common staph, or MRSA drug-resistant staph infection). Typically, pre-op medications would be administered if there is prior history of cold sores prior to chemical peels. Seek medical attention from a board-certified dermatologist right away if you experienced itchy, painful blisters after chemical peel.
