I am a 23-year-old female with acne-prone combination skin. I have currently on spironolactone 50 mg daily for about a month now. I have always had mouth hyperpigmentation, but it recently got worse around 4 weeks ago. I also incorporated tretinoin 0.05 % about 2 months ago, which I dont know if it contributes to the pigmentation. The skin in my folds has gotten dark and sometimes has dry, flaky skin. I wanted to know if a chemical peel could help with lifting this pigment and getting rid of it
I had a Vi peel done 4 days ago and started to notice significant swelling around my mouth area about 72 hours after the peel. The skin had already shed away and now my new skin underneath is all swollen to the point where I can't open my mouth. It's so swollen my skin is starting to crack. I tried the hydrocortisone cream and it has done nothing to help. Is this normal and how long should this last? Is this an allergy and if so could it be to the peel or the hydrocortisone cream?
I did got a vi peel on Friday, it is now Monday, I have a minimal amount of peeling mainly near my mouth and a little on my forehead (not readily noticeable) . I was expecting more. I used the towelettes at home for the first two days as instructed. Could the peel be less effective because I got 30% glycolic peels before (the last being 2.5 weeks before the vi peel)? will i still see results?
The esthetician thinks I won't peel because of my prolonged use of Tretinoin and my skin is not senstive to it anymore.My esthetician said she would call the VI Peel rep.I am putting Societe's calming balm on my skin to relieve the dry feeling but when it wears off my skin still feels so dry. Today is the third day for the balming cream. Will my skin ever regain its moisture? Thank you for any help.
Had my first Vi peel. I wanted to reduce the fine lines around my eyes and mouth. Leaving the Dr. some areas were more red, they went over them more times. Day 2, areas are so wrinkled when I smile and look like orange peel when I'm not. My skin looks very aged from my eyes to my mouth. After I peel will this resolve? Seems deeper. I am so worried. I've followed the instructions, kept the protective cream and aquaphor on. Is this normal? Does it look better after peeling and will this go away?
