Chemical Peel for SOC? (Photo)

Question

Recently having breakouts on back (red bumps) with resulting hyperpigmentation and want to peel. Are any recommended for middle eastern skin? Also, any peels recommended for KP (on arms) for middle eastern skin? I have hyperpigmentation from a previous deep peel. I scar relatively easily.

Hello m_sal, Thank you for your question and photographs. For the best-personalized advice photographic evaluation is not enough. An in-person consultation is a must.

The best treatment for back acne would be mild peels like glycolic peels in combination with salicylic and mandelic peels. Acne on the back also needs to be treated as it can be because of hormonal changes or dandruff. So it's important to know the cause for the same. Consult a board-certified doctor to guide you with the best treatment.

Best of luck, Dr Shweta Mumbai, India
