Are there specific chemical peels I should be wary of if I am allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide?

Asked By:josegonz13 in Los Angeles, CA

I have spoken to a dermatologist and he thinks it would be a good idea for me to get a chemical peel to remove a series of acne scaring, however i didn't mention that i was allergic to benzoyl peroxide and a friend thought that since it is used to treat acne that it may be safer to make sure that they had nothing to do with chemical peels. Please help! I would appreciate it!
