Ive been using the same exact chemical peel brand for one year and follow the same three steps before my peel, and have consistently yield the same amazing results. This application my skin didnt tingle and appear matte when using a cotton ball to apply. It actually had a major itching sensation. From then on my forehead and only my left cheek just had numerous whiteheads and a few cystic bumps which I literally never get. What are some factors that cause can lead to stubborn skin purging.
I am suffering from blackheads /whiteheads from 2years 19year old female. I popped them up using extractor blackheads are gone but I could see marks on my forhead Can I go for chemical peels?
My dermatologist asked me to perform a chemical peel at home. I did it two days ago by following all the instructions given, but I woke up the next day with red and inflamed cheeks :( Is this normal? Any suggestions on what I should do? I asked my derm and she told me to apply desonide lotion 2 times a day for 1 week. But Im afraid the desonide will clog my pores and leave me with more whiteheads than I already have. Thanks in advance!
I just did a chemical peel yesterday, and today while I was trying to put on lotion, there are these tiny whiteheads coming out of my pores and I have them a little squeeze and now my nose is so red.. please can someone tell me how to fix this????
I used to have moderate acne, which cleared up a few years ago. Only stubborn whiteheads remain now, which I'd like to get extracted. Consulted a dermatologist nearby, and he said he won't do the extractions before some sessions of glycolic peels or laser. But according to one of the answers given by Dr. Mary Lupo here on realself, chemical peels and lasers are very bad for closed comedones. This has left me very confused. Is this man just trying to scam me for more money?
