Chemical peel Results
Redness, swelling and some crusting for 7-10 days after an aggressive chemical peel is expected, but worsening redness after 5 days is concerning for possible infection e.g. cellulitis. A contact dermatitis or other complication is also possible. I would advise you to follow up immediately with the individual who applied the peel (if he or she is a qualified practitioner experienced in dealing with post-peel complications). The faster a post-peel complication is appropriately managed, the lower the risk of long-term scarring and pigmentary problems.
