Can I have microdermabrasion after an at-home glycolic peel?
(1 answer)
My appointment for microdermabrasion is tomorrow. Two days ago I put a bit of 30% glycolic acid on my face. I didn't put the product all over, just on my nose and cheeks. I only left it on for two minutes. Now, my skin is just a little flaky. Should I wait to have the microdermabrasion done? Or, is it fine to have the treatment following a peel?
Would dermabrasion or some other treatment remove the dark brown spot on my legs?

What is the best procedure/treatment for this issue?

Can a fungal infection be caused by microdermabrasion?
(1 answer)
I had microdermabrasion done 4 months ago, and a patch developed shortly after. When I went this month, a specialist told me it's a fungal infection and recommended I use Sebifin, as well as Melaglow. But I don't have any irritation in that region. The area is dark red at times and light red at other times. Do I really have a fungal infection? How can this happen right after microdermabrasion? Please suggest a remedy.
