In as many as half of these, it can be a debilitating experience — leading to scarring, self esteem issues and mental trauma.

Black peels are a potent natural organic acid, containing black vinegar.

The peel also contains potassium iodide, which helps in quick skin recovery.

But for those seeking an immediate relief, there is little option but to settle for steroid shots.
