I just looked at your photos. The brown coloring is not the biggest issue. I am more concerned about a herpetic breakout (cold sore like infection) in the lower lip and chin areas.

Permanent skin damage from at home TCA Peel?
I have olive complexion. I did an at home 20% TCA Peel 2 days ago to treat sun damage and fine lines. My skin frosted lightly, I rinsed it off...applied triple antibiotic ointment and lotion.
It turned brown IMMEDIATELY that night. Is it normal for my skin to be so brown so soon after the peel? Did I cause permanent scarring or skin color damage? I am afraid that the skin under the burn will also be brown and look totally different from the rest of my face....please help me! I have Photos!
