TCA Peel 30% - Areas Treated Turned Dark Brown

Thank you for your reply. I agree that I should have used about a 20% tca for my first treatment, because I believe I did shock my skin too much, but I just wanted to post an update for anyone who might be going through the same thing. I used hydrocortizone cream and triple antibiotic ointment for the first four days. For the next 5 days I occasionally still used them plus I started using cp serum (google it) and emu oil twice a day. Then two and a half weeks after the first 30% tca treatment, I did a 25% tca treatment and after a 7 days my skin started looking better than it had in years. And I always, always used the highest concentration of sunblock I could find.

I had a 30% tca peel done and it turned my skin a dark brown on the areas treated. Is this normal and how long will it last?
