Cosmelan chemical peel working or not? Should I seek another opinion? (Photos)

August 26, 2017
Asked By:CaliV2025

I recently had a consult with a cosmetic dermatologist who recommended a Cosmelan chemical peel for hyperpigmentation. It was performed by the aesthetician who did Step 1 in office and I was told to apply step 2 once daily for days 2-14. I am currently on day 13 and I've noticed that my skin is very light in areas, which appears blotchy and it it remains dark in the same areas as before. Only, this time, I can't tell if it's working or actually making my skin worse. Should I discontinue use?
