My age is 29 Years, Male, Asian. I have black spots, scars on the face. My face is very oily and do not allow me to use any kind of lotions or sunscreen. After 1-2Hours of facewash my face looks dull and oily. One of my friend suggested me to go for Chemical Peeling. Kindly suggest how effective it is and its side effects.

Hi,
Chemical peeling is a safe OPD procedure to reduce the scars and spots on the face. But, it should be done by expert dermatologist who is well experienced in this procedure. There are many different chemicals used for the skin peeling. Your doctor might decide about it. Sometimes, irritant dermatitis,black pigmentation may occur as side effects.
Hope this helps.
