I’m wanting to do a chemical peel on my ankles to help get rid of flee and mosquito bite scars but I’m wondering if wearing socks as my skins is peeling would be bad for the peeling skin or if it’ll have no effect at all, just don’t want to cause my skin to scar even worse by wearing socks as the skins peeling
