Are these going to scar? Should I be looking into treatments to minimize the scarring? (Photo)

Asked By:jemcc1013 in Lancaster, CA

I had a glycolic peel done last Friday, and immediately I could tell it was too strong. She told me it was a 30% peel and she removed it within a minute and a half because I couldn't take the burning. It scabbed up pretty bad and the scabs have now come off in the shower and it looks like I have a bunch of little red indented marks. Will they heal without scarring or should I be looking into treatments to minimize the scarring? So far I have just been putting lots of neosporin and sunscreen on.
