After a chemical peel, what are these red dry spots on my face? (Photos)

Question

I had a chemical peel done yesterday. The aesthetician said that I was “frosting” in that area.... are these stain spots normal?

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Appears in the posted photos as a few areas of superficial burn effect. Best to see a MD to evaluate and offer treatment if needed.

Kristine Brecht, MD (license suspended) · Answer

Chemical peels can be very strong, cause post procedure inflammation, redness, burns and general irritation to the skin.Wear spf 30+ while healing.Treat the spots like a burn, silvadene cream bid helps.Avoid any further treatments to the skin until it has fully healed.Best. Dr Brecht
