Vitalize peel day 5. Is this area still peeling? (Photo)

February 17, 2018
Asked By:sm0033 in Ridgeland, MS

I had a Vitalize peel 5 days ago. My skin peeled well and I can see and feel smooth new skin all over the face. However, jaw area and some parts of upper lip feel rough, scabby , dry, tight. It seems like it is kinda peeling again... that area also stings a little when I apply aquaphor . Is this area still peeling? I am worried about PIH so wanted to start putting some hydrocortisone in this area as a prevention. Thoughts? Pics attached from today ( day 5 of peel )

Is this eczema? And will chemical peels help? (Photo)
Michele S. Green, MD says:

It appears that you have an irritation from the product or a contact dermatitis.  I would suggest that you use some hydrocortisone cream for a few days and discontinue the new product.  A peel would make it worse.  Best, Dr. Green
