Asked By:ANEWBEGINNING24 in Atlanta, GA

Before we get started I know tca peels needs to be done by a professional but I've done 30% peel on my butt with no problem with peeling in fact I peeled within 7 days but for some odd reason the 15% peel I applied on my butt 10 days ago only turned my skin dark and is not peeling . If I apply a stronger peel will this make my outer skin peel?. no i don't want to try bleaching creams that will take too much time
