Ask your doctor about medicines that can help lighten those patches. Like you, I also have the same problem. I have medium skin tone therefore is prone to have hyperpigmentation afterwards. I wish our doctors would forwarned us about the after-affects - I have a pre-planned vacation in less than four weeks!
Be very careful with the sun, even when driving with the sun rays through the windows. Try to restrain from cooking over a hot stove as much as you can. I had same peel done in a Derma. Office and was not warned about the possible hyperpigmentation after affects. I am Asian with medium skin color and that is why my skin resulted in hyperpigmentation after the TCA peel, now I have dark large spots as opposed to acne scars which is just as bad. Even so, Caucasian Women can also be prone to hyperpigmentation if the skin is not thoroughly cared for. Use lots of sunblock and stay away from heat!
