Open Question: Glycolic Peels for Whiteheads? The good, the bad, the ugly…?
So I have developed a serious case of closed comedones(whiteheads) all over my face as an adult and went to see a dermatologist who although creepy, recommended Gycolic Peels even though my skin is sensitive. I never had cystic acne, only clogged pores. I went to a facialist 7 weeks ago and they told me that it would take 6 treatments before I see any visible results. After the first one I had a horrible reaction and was all scabbed up. There are now slightly dark spots on the previously scabbed areas. I decided to stick it out since they said that was normal. I have had 3 treatments so far and now am developing cystic acne (pimples) more than I ever had. They also said that is normal. Looking at myself, it looks worse than it ever did so I don’t know what to think. I was ok with the idea it would take time to see results, but all I am seeing is it progressively getting worst. I have tried everything from proactiv, exposed, bliv, peter roth, even herbal supplements over the past 10 months or so. Since the dermatologist I went to was useless, I am wondering if my first instinct to these peels was right and if I should stop. Any advice on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
