Does Chemical Peeling Help In Removing Butt Scars?
Hello,
I am a 22 year old female, I had a severe case of acne vulgaris during the age of 14-20 on my face, top back and butt cheeks as well,
I am able to deal with my face scarring which comes in reddish spots and ice pick scars with Retin-A, however my butt scars have turned purplish black, and compared to the reddened scars on my face which take no less than 4-6 weeks to turn a ligher shade, my butt scars are like 4-6 months old before they turn from purplish-black to brown and remains as such, would a chemical peel help in the case of butt scars?is it a common procedure or one that shocks a dermatologist if requested by a patient?thanks tons
