Asked By:orangey123 in Alaska, AK

I had a deep chemical peel aca. Day 3,When I opened my mouth wide, the skin cracked. I waited after hydrating, took a dry washcloth and gently "scrubbed" the flaking off. This area was from my chin to nose not cheeks. Later my face began cracking open more.I called my doctor, he said take a shower and rub the skin. But it seemed all my skin rolled off! It did not hurt. 1. damaged my skin? Will I scar 2. hyperpigmentation? 3. How long out of the sun? I'm 100% out of it. Hate hats Thanks!
