HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Irritation of the vaginal area can occur after this procedure, the peeling is due to irritation and inflammation of this area.This should resolve on its own within a week.

It is also possible to have a discharge for 4 to 6 weeks after this procedure, initially it would be bright red but would change as healing occurs. If a discharge occurs and is foul smelling then it is possible that there is an infection present that needs antibiotics.

I hope this helps
