I did a medium strength superficial chemical peel at home (Dr Gross AHA/BHA peel pads) on Saturday morning. The results were fantastic and my skin looked great until I woke up Sunday morning. My eyes and face were swollen, my skin was burning, itching, and I have tiny raised bumps on my face. I have taken Benadryl daily and used 1% hydrocortisone cream. Its day 3 and the s/s have improved minimally. What is this and will it go away? What should I do to help my skin?
I'm not sure what the ingredients are, so I can't say if this is an allergic reaction. They gave me a take home kit which I have been using religiously except for the decolletage cream last night as it burned too much. I expected redness. Now it's not burning, just starting to itch. I've also put a call into the aestetician who did the treatment. Should I only use the cream every other day or stop completely?
It have been a week and my skin is slowly peeling but I noticed darken spots on my face and I want to know if they are permanent and how long should it take. It is mostly around the mouth area. It started getting dark this past weekend. I used sunscreen if i had to go outside. It itches and I have been using a blah face wash.
I have done a medium plus Chemical Peel about almost two months ago. My new skin looked smooth after two weeks although was very red, but since after approximately three weeks I am developing irregularities-uneven, swollen, itchy and raised texture. My skin is still reddish warm and dynamic, changes. My doctor prescribed me 'dermovate cream' or ointment three times a day. Please kindly advise since I feel so bad and worried. Thank you. gal k
