I had done an at-home 30% glycolic peel (3 layers, each applied 2 min, 30 seconds after each other) for a total of 8 minutes. This is not the first time I have done the peel. I had stopped using TactuPump (Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) two days prior of the peel. I am hoping that this will not scar. I have been using La Roche Posay Cicaplast (Post-peeling, epidermal recovery accelerator). I have also used SPF 60 Lotion only for the days I leave the house.
2 days ago I got a 40% glycolic peel. Immediately afterward there were a few small white patches which kind of bubbled up a bit and I treated it with neosporin. These areas scabbed over and 2days after the peel, the some of the scabs peeled off. The skin under the scabs is smooth but red. I previously had acne scars in these areas and I'm worried if the peel exacerbated the acne scars because now they look more noticeable. I've put more neosporin on the areas. Will this redness go away?
I did a chemical peel 50% glycolic and didn't neutralize it completely now there are spots and a significant burn mark on my cheek I've been putting vitamin e oil on it and have tretinoin and hydroquinone to start using once the scabs are healed will this help
I am a dark skin woman who has black scabs from glycolic peel and microderm treatment on my cheek. I was told to use aloe and keep it moisturized also stay away from sunlight. I also was told an enzyme mask or microderm with very low suction would help get rid of the scabs is this true? And I should add a week before this treatment I had a 20% salicylic which I did fine with. I am also worried about hypopigmentation . Thanks
I had a glycolic peel done last Friday, and immediately I could tell it was too strong. She told me it was a 30% peel and she removed it within a minute and a half because I couldn't take the burning. It scabbed up pretty bad and the scabs have now come off in the shower and it looks like I have a bunch of little red indented marks. Will they heal without scarring or should I be looking into treatments to minimize the scarring? So far I have just been putting lots of neosporin and sunscreen on.
