Red Itchy Rash Afrer Vi Peel?

Question

Please help! I am scared i have really messed up. I had a vi peel 2 days ago, and i have a very red tight face with LOTS and LOTS of red very itchy bumps. Especially around my chin and behind my ears.... everywhere. My neck is extremely red and swollen with the same red bumps. Obviously i am allergic to this peel. I also have not started to peel... At All!! Should i be on some sort of RX??? I am afraid I have ruined my face. This is absolutely terrible. I am really scared.

You should cleanse all the areas that the peel was applied with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil and contact the office that performed the peel so they can evaluate you in person. Benadryl can help with the itchiness. Some contraindications of the Vi peel are aspirin and phenol allergies. Best wishes.
