Can I do a 70% glycolic acid peel on my breast lift scars and top of my vagina to get rid of waxing scars?

missboobyDec 4, 2014
I bought a 70% acid peel today and put it on the top part of my vagina and everything seems fine. I also did a test patch on my breast lift scars and it seems fine too. Will the breast scars and red scars on my vagina eventually go away if I do this every week, or will something bad happen? Thank you!

I suggest going to a cosmetic dermatologist who is specialized in laser and peels.  There are many options to decrease redness and speed the healing process.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Perineal pigmentation can be corrected with skin lightening creams such as Melarase followed by Melapeels to address pigmentation through exfoliation. Raffy Karamanoukian MD

As the skin strengthens with your first chemical peel, you will likely have less peeling and dryness with subsequent peels. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Blood thinners usually do not interfere with chemical peels. Deep peels such as a high strength TCA or phenol peel may require injections and you may want to hold off on the blood thinners. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

It is best to review your problems with your skin specialist. Melarase creams can help further improve your skin discoloration and uneven complexion. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

This is likely a case of keratosis pilaris and for this condition we use a combination of Melapads and chemical peels to help reduce the spots. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
