There shouldn't be swelling from Cosmelan
NO there should be no swelling if used as directed.
You probably are having an allergic reactio to one of the ingredients. See your internist to treat the allergic reaction.

Swelling after Cosmelan seems like allergic reaction
This certainly sounds like an allergic reaction.
Cosmelan has a large variety of ingredients including kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid, etc. any of which can cause an allergic reaction
Hopefully, this peel was done in a physician's office where the treatment of such a reaction should be quite routine. If so, I would return there.
If your peel was done in a so-called medi-spa, I would recommend a visit to a dermatologist for treatment. Unfortunately, we are becoming more and more...

Swelling shutting the eyes
I have no experience with this product but I can still say for sure that this is not "normal" and your doctor would want to know about what you are experiencing asap. You might have an allergic reaction and hopefully not an infection. Call them right away for an evaluation.

Swelling after cosmelan
In addition to a variety of acids, Cosmelan also contains botanicals that can incite allergic reactions. To answer your question, it is NOT normal for you to be experiencing what appears to be an allergic reaction. I would seek the care of your doctor as soon as you are able to do so. If you are coughing or experiencing difficulty breathing, you should go to the emergency room immediately.
