Question 3

my mother did the vi peel and a large rash developed on her neck. she went to the er and they gave her prednisone. can this rash form a scar?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: It is not likely.  Vi peel is a chemical peel that often causes an inflammatory reaction as the superficial "burn" removes superficial skin damage.  Should be all good in 3 weeks .  Might need some pre-peel Prednisone before next procedure.  The peel is meant for all fitz types.  Have her see the peel prescribing doctor soon to evaluate.

Question 8
