Abstract;Recently, chemical peeling using glycolic acid (GA) has become widely accepted for the treatment of acne vulgaris. On the other hand, it is known that GA application is accompanied with sensory irritation, such as pain, itching, and stinging. In this study, we observed the current perception threshold (CPT) on the pre-treatment day, 2 days, and 4 weeks after GA treatment. As a result, we discovered a decrease of CPT 2 days after GA treatment. This result indicates a decreased of stimulus threshold several days after GA peeling. Therefore, we verified that it was necessary to pay prudent attention to lifestyle and skin-care guidance for sensitive skin after GA peeling. (author abst.)
