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!

It is NEVER advised to treat yourself at home. It appears you may be having an allergic reaction to the product you used. I would recommend you see your primary health provider for a antihistamine and topical steroid. In the future, please always seek the professional advice from a board...
