Are any chemical peels effective at treating eczema on the back? (Photos)

Asked By:Resourceful5688 in New Port Richey, FL

My eczema is so bad and the dry skin clogs pores and causes acne. I’ve had prescription ointments that do not help, and only steroid shots do but only temporarily. There’s a med spa that does back/chest facials with chemical peels but my research is giving mixed answers about chemical peels and eczema. I desperately want to have somewhat normal skin before my beach trip this Spring. Thanks!
