Can I apply tea tree oil to a pimple the day after salicylic chemical peel was applied?

Hello Anna_SkinCare,
Thank you for submitting your question. I would wait a week until your skin has healed from the peel. As chemical peels tend to bring all impurities to the surface you may notice a bit more of a break out during this time. Wait 5-7 days and you can then move forward with the Tea Tree and don't forget to avoid direct sunlight and apply SPF daily!

I don't recommend doing this. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations following your peel. Acne requires a combination approach to get long term improvement. I recommend a combination of Cosmelan, salt facials, peels, lasers, microneedling/prp, blue light, radiofrequency and isotretinoin.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, Thanks for your question. Tea tree oil is not recommended soon after a peel. You can apply any antibiotic cream like clindamycin if the acne is infected and painful. Kindly consult your doctor. Good Luck. 

I would wait 5-7 days before putting anything on the skin that may irritate.  You may have the pimple as a response to the peel, which is fairly common.  Consider putting a cool compress on the area or contacting the provider that did your peel.  Good luck and I hope you have great results with your peel!!
