This time I may have left it on a bit too long and ended up with a few red marks or burns around mouth and especially the bridge of nose where the skin is thinner. Every place healed except for the nose. It has a reddish irregular patch. Thought it was healing but then last week while washing face it bled. I'm wondering if this is permanent damage. Doesn't hurt or itch.Pictures included.
I'm an RN and gave myself a 50% glycolic peel at home. I done this before however this was the first I've done in about a year. I forgot about stopping retinoids before the peel. I use Skinmedica retinol tx nightly and did so the night before my peel. I'm now about 54 hours post peel. I had splotchy red spots in places x 1 day (barely pink now), a few of pinpoint sized red scabs, & my entire face feels like sandpaper tonight. Didn't happen in my prior peels. Likely the retinoids? Healing likely?
I am using glycolic acid 10% pads by loreal nightly as instructed. I do not get a tingle feeling, i do not know if it is working, it has been 6days. I have had this problem on my face for over a year, they are smooth flat red spots! Anything i can buy! I have tried salycilic acid 2% face wash, whitening mask exfoliant, 2x sulfur,1%hydrocortisone cream. Aloe vera gel seemed to work then after a period of time stopped.
I did a derma rolling treatment on my face which was fine I have done that a million times. Two days later I did a 40% glycolic acid peel. I left it on for 5 minutes. It burned but I could handle it. It has been one day since my peel and my skin has dark red spots and what looks like burns all over it!!! Will this heal? Or have I scared myself even worse!
Hi, I Had a Slight Glycolic Peel Yesterday and noticed a few red burned spots on my cheeks and are still there this morning. still felt tingling sensations after shower and red burned spots still very visible. Is this normal reaction or should i be worried and seek medical advise. Rgds, Ems
