Is It Normal to Have a Severe Acne Breakout from an Obagi Blue Peel?

April 24, 2010
Asked By:peaceandlove in florida

Is it common/normal to have a severe acne breakout from a TCA PEEL, 15% two layers, with the obagi blue peel? Before my peel i did not break out for months, and did the peel, and after i peeled, i noticed little bumps that looked like a rash, and now it is full blown acne. The doctor who did my peel, had advised me, to start the NU DERM SYSTEM, the day after i was done peeling. Now my skin is worse then before! Help, what should i do?

Sameer Bashey, MD says:

The original blue peel was invented several years ago by Dr. Obagi- who will tell you himself that it is outdated. The newest chemical peel invented by Dr. Obagi is the Controlled Depth Peel (CDP) which is a major leap forward from the original blue peel. That is the peel of choice for us...
