Will I Ever Get a Clear Complexion? Post Peel Nightmare. (photo)

I did 7 55% LA Peels at home waited a week then did a 3 layer Fusion Peel from medpeel.com and its been a week since l did it and my skin has peeled 98%.My worry now is l have even worse hyperpigmentation than before which l have been dealing with for just over a year now.l have been on and off Obagi Nu Derm and l am starting to think the HQ 4% and tretinoin 0.025% is not doing much. Will this darkness go away and what else should l consider to clear my face l am starting to hate the way l look.

Hyperpigmentation after a chemical peel

From the photos it appears that you need to make an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist as soon as possible. There are things that you may be able to do to present long term hyperpigmentation and scarring. You will probably need a prescription for hydroquinone. Rather than treating yourself with these strong products, I recommend that you work with a qualified professional to minimize your risk of complications in the future. Good luck! more

Consult a dermatologist for your skin.

You should consult a dermatologist. You must stop home treating yourself or you will end up with hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Chemical peel mistakes at home

As mentioned in previous postings, I have seen countless burns, scars, mistakes etc with people self-treating with peels and other things. Please go see a dermatologist, a highly trained skin expert for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan and stop playing doctor.
