Asked By:msamer1693 in Apple Valley, CA

I had microneedling done on my chin on Tuesday, it is now Saturday evening. My skin isn't exactly peeling it just has tons of dead skin sitting there. I pat it with soap in the shower and rinse it off, I can't pat it dry though because the skin will come off, and i just dab lotion on it carefully. Do I just let it sit there or do I take off the dead skin at some point? It's been sitting there for a few days and it doesn't fall off. The areas underneath are still dark colored.
