I did a 20% TCA peal on Friday. Today is Wednesday and where the I had pimples the skin peeled and the skin looks pink/white. I washed my face and a brown ring has form around/on-top the pink. it is raised and a bit crusty. i applied mometasone furoate .1% ointment on it has reduced the tender tenderness and inflammation.
