Asked By:maryy2914 in Baltimore, MD

I have fair skin, and I did a 30% TCA peel to get rid of my freckles. When I put it on my face immediately turned white and I tried to wash it off about 1 1/2 minutes later. The white stayed for about 20 minutes, then it went away. I put Neosporin, vas line, avenno lotion, and some tea tree oil.The next morning and there was a red/ light brown spot of where I put the peel on, also a rough texture. It is has been less than 35 hours and the spots are still there, will it be a scar?
