“Self Chemical Peel Burned Layers of my Skin - Los Angeles, CA”
Mornings
Not Worth It
Spent: $100 in Los Angeles

Posted 19 Sep 2011
I wanted to use peels to help with my acne scars, it made matters worse. My nose is red for whatever i don't know.
It produced an adverse effect and burned the top layers of my nose? or got it infected? acne? i don't know. I used salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid at diff times over the course of a month or two (peels from skin laboratory). It made my nose permanately red and produced discoloration all over my face.
I haven't used peels since this effect on my nose ~1.5 month ago. I'm out of idea and don't know what to do, any recommendation for routines and treatment?

Was this an at home treatment? I am in an Esthetics class now, and these types of peels aren't really good for home use, especially if you've never had a peel done before. Your skin type, and condition, and contraindications all have something to do with how your skin reacts to different treatments. If you don't mind me suggesting, if you go to a school near you that has this class, they may can help you figure out what you need to do from this point on. If there isn't a school near you, then I would go to a dermatologist and take the product with you, and they will be able to help you there. Sorry for your horrible experience, results usually aren't like that unless you don't do something correctly. I hope this information helps out some. Good luck! :)
