In general, there are few contraindications to salicylic acid chemical peeling. Salicylic acid peels are well tolerated in all skin types (Fitzpatrick’s I–VI) and all racial/ethnic groups. General contraindications include salicylate hypersensitivity/allergy; unrealistic patient expectations; active inflammation/dermatitis or infection at the salicylic acid peeling site; acute
viral infection; pregnancy; and isotretinoin therapy within 3–6 months of the peeling procedure.
The author has performed more than 1,000 salicylic acid peels without observing any evidence of salicylate allergy/hypersensitivity following a salicylic acid peel.
