Did you get burned or white streaks from bad chemical peel?

Honey..please be careful those peels can do a lot of harm if not careful in your case you just fell off and went to sleep,well I live here in Dallas Texas and there's a Dr. good for cases like this please give him a call look him up online and explain to the clerk what has happen and see if you can make an aptt.ASAP..Good Luck sweetie 

hi okay so the same thing happened to me except the doctor gave e an at home peel where i would use it as a spot treatment... and i have the scars and it look disgusting..i tryed vitamin e , at the moment im trying bio oil at nights and avene sking cream during the day... it has been one month since the devastating catastrophe and i don't think it got any better.. but im hopeing in a nother month it will get better... anyhow the point is... i don't think there is anything to freaking cure this stupid [problem soo if anything i suggest makeup... and MAC make up does wonders to cover it up the creamy concealer in a pot and studiofx liquid foundation and botting powder to keep it all set. so i use that everyday to hide the crap burns on my face. it totally sucks and i want to shoot myself for doing this. p.s if you find anything please let me know

Any time we under go a procedure to make us look and feel better it is devastating when the end results are not at all what we expected.  The fact that you were able to sleep during the peel is a really good indication that the TCA you received was not very strong.  Which in this case is good news as far as long term scarring.  The white streaks are probably a result of not having "feathered" the TCA below the jaw line.  Feathering is a technique used to eliminate obvious lines of Demarcation between treated and untreated skin.  If the the treatment was done more recently you need to be patient.  Redness can take up to several weeks sometimes to fade out.  During this healing process it is paramount that you do not expose your face to the sun.  Hydroquinone is something that you may want to integrate into your skin care regime also.  Follow up with your Doctor.  This may not be as bad as you are thinking!

Hi. I`m not an expert or anything, but I constantly do stupid things to my face attempting to get rid of acne, acne scars and scars from a car accident. Frequently, I mix chemicals and end up burning my face. The redness and white lines you talk about do eventually go away, but it takes time (6mths. or longer!) What I found to really help and speed up the process is to wash with a cleanser containing glycolic acid. Follow up with a lotion or creme that contains AHA`s. I use Alpha Hydrox 12% Glocolic acid souffle. You can order it online at www.alphahydrox.com. I`d recommend starting out with a lower percentage if you have sensitive skin. After I apply this and let it dry, then I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-wrinkle intensive deep wrinkle moisturizer.Two or 3 times a week, I also use alpha hydroxy`s 14% AHA wipes. All of these produts are gentle acids which speed up the cell renewal process. If you`ve never used AHA products before, your skin might start breaking out for the first month, but then clears up and looks great! The AHA`s help prevent acne AND get rid of fine lines. If you want to get rid of the redness faster, look for calendula oil opr products that contain it. I think you can find it at health stores, but I usually get mine from a tanning salon. Most of them carry products that contain calendula. It gets rid of redness ( sunburn) overnight. Hope this helps!

same thing has happened to me 50 percent tca on my face i was on antibitoics for a week its black and red burns horrific i dont even leave the house.and i am 3 weeks on after treatment and my skin broke out in spots may be from the shock. i am curently using dermacel healing serum oils-lavender,vitamin e also taking internal vitamins like zinc and i bought an aloe vera plant to use the gel to heal my skin .this has been the worst experience of my life...im wondering how long its going to take to heal

what does red skin mean after a peel even after 3 months

I did a tca on my abdominal for stretchmarks, I rather have the stretchmarks, now i have stretchmarks and my belly is three shades darker now.

It's called, easy does it. I use an 18% TCA peel that I ordered online. I first put one application and followed the directions to the T. The next peel I did 2 mths later I left on longer and layered it, 2 applications at once. I looked like crap for a week, but it worked very good. I am using partly antibiotic cream, Vitamin E,A and D oil mixed in with it. It works for me. I wish you all the best of luck. Those of U with scars and redness and some of the other symptom's I've heard described try those oil's. I take them internally as well. Another thing that helps with your skin is consuming pineapple. I was told this from my Dr. and thought, are you kidding! I eat fresh pineapple and I tell ya, it works! Look up what I said and everything that you hear online so that you are sure your doing what's best for your skin. The Alpha Hydroxy after a peel, I was told was a big no,no.... so, just investigate. Best of Luck!!!

I am going to call and cancel my chemical peel. You all scared me, and I am really grateful for the information. I know and understand that this does not happen to everyone, but I dont want to take that chance.

Please dont have it done. When I had mine done my husband almost fainted. I looked like a monster until it healed. I had a huge blister which turned into a sore looking scab. Im sure I have pictures somewhere. You would have to see it to believe it. I dont have very many wrinkles but it wasnt worth it.

I bought the rejuvenize peel and administered it myself. I've had it before at the dermatologist office but thought I coud save some money. Now I have red splotchey spots and my skin is soo tight that it looks wrinkled. Will this heal?
