A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are any side effects to using chemical peels on your face for acne scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemical Peels: Side effects of chemical peels can include sunlight sensitivity for a few weeks, burning, peeling (not really a side effect, since that's the goal of the treatment), redness, itching, and deactivation of a cold sore outbreak.
