If you are using a peel pad that is twenty percent salicylic acid, that is too strong for everyday use. See your dermatologiist who can prescribe you a topical medication to help with healing and stay out the sun completely until this problem is resolved.
How can I reverse the damaged from Salicylic peel?
I have been using salicylic acid 20% for 2 weeks. I have oily, sensitive skin. 2 days ago, I had a reaction: part of my skin turned red and brownish. I stopped using it, but now it has been 5 days and the red area is not fading. I am afraid it might stay like this. Is this possible? What can I do to reverse the damage?
