When Does the Redness from a Glycolic Peel Go Away?
I recently used a 30 percent glycolic peel on my face and neck. I left it on for 10 min. My face got crusty and dry and scabbed where i had acne. My neck turned into a blotchy red mess and I dont understand why. I was wondering how long will it take for the blotchy redness to go away on my neck? I have been using cereve lotion and neosporin to keep it moist. Also some topical ointments lidocaine 5% and mupirocin 2% mixed in. does this sound like a good combination to get me through?

Prolonged redness after glycolyci acid peel
You have been applyin multiple products that may in fact keeping the area more red. I would avoid tthe use of Neosporin and mupirocin unless specifically prescribed.
