Obagi Nu Derm caused severe inflammation and darkening of my skin. How can I treat this problem?

May 14, 2014

Last year Doctor recommended Obagi Nu Derm for acne and hyperpigmentation. She did a glycolic peel. After two weeks of Obagi my skin was inflamed and darkened but no peeling occurred. The doctor did another peel. After another two weeks my face was burning and there was only minor peeling. I stopped using Obagi. 10 months on my pigmentation is a lot worse and the healthy skin has got darker. I know there is no quick fix to this, but how can I treat my problem. Honest answer much appreciated.
