Long Term Damage from Vita Peel?
asked 2 years ago by Tracy B in MN

The Dr had the assistant give me the procedure. It was supposed to be a Vita Peel. The assistant did the acetone step, the peel and then messed up and did another layer of acetone with a 10% DNCB (dinitrochlorobenzene).
I had a very bad immediate reaction. The Dr came in and applied cold compresses on me and my neck (even though it wasn't treated it was red hot). The Dr put me on predisone.
It's now day two and I now have a reddish brown mask with some darker brown spots that feel tight. Am I going to have long term damage?
