Is it safe to get a chemical peel after skin bleaching?

Question

I have been bleaching my skin. Is it safe to get a chemical peel on my face to remove the dark marks from the pimples I had in the past?

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

I do not know what kind of "bleaching" you have been doing but skin care using the proper "bleaching agent" is the best treatment.  Chemical peels and lasers only remove the superficial part of the pigment, not the cells causing the spot unless you do a quite deep procedure, which you do not want to do unless you have been on the proper "bleaching agent."  Make sure you see a physician with significant experience in treating this problem.
