Glycolic acid peel
It highly unlikely to have pigmentation problem from 5% glycolic acid. Unless you mean 50%.
If so, the skin was not prepared prior to the peel. Treatment is possible, but require time, Medical grade skin care, and multiple chemical peels. Lasers may do that but one has to be very carefull with your color skin.Consult a plastic surgeon or Dermatologist for advise and treatment
