Asked By:sisicheung0608 in South Wales, NY

Hi , sorry to message you even you don't know me but I really need some advice about TCA peel… I had the second TCA 20% on 19th night, I left it on for 3mins then washed it off, but the burning last all night long from strong to less, the face wasn't red but pale, only the area on my jaw line and one side of my cheek turned brown a few hours later ....the next day, my face was swelling a lot, the brown area looks like orange skin... so I put some antiseptic cream and some healing cream on it, on the same night it started to feel tight a little bit and a little less swelling..... yesterday its still swelling a bit, the whole face turned darker red and brown, and it started to peel on my chin but only a thin layer, and the skin underneath haven't change it still brown!! today (day 3 and half), my face seems not swelling anymore, it feel really tight I can't even smile, the skin very brown, I'm so worry now, is my face colour gonna be like this forever? did I just over burned it for some reason? it acted so different compare with the first peel 5 weeks ago... the first on was great, only took 5 days to peel and the skin colour gone back to normal straight away on the peeled area... please help me and tell me what should i do... thank you!
