I recently had a chemical peel (supposedly superficial). I followed the nurse's instructions in terms of using moisturizer and SPF 30 along with Cloderm 1%. I was wondering why my face would still burn every time I put on the SPF and Cloderm. I come to find out that I have a Chemical Burn on my face as a result of the chemical peel. The whole right side of my face is completely discolored to a point where you can see where the nurse wiped on the chemicals on my face.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to correct my face? I was once a DIVA but now I have a major complex about myself....The dermatologist finally admitted that I have a Chemical Burn on my face. Do I need to talk to a reconstructive surgeon now? Desperately seeking advice.
Chemical burns can happen from any chemical peel treatment. It is difficult to give you advice without seeing your skin, knowing the type of peel depth you had, etc.. Seek close care and follow-up from your doctor to get through this.
