I had the perfect peel yesterday and it is now post peel 27 hours - my face is very red and uncomfortable but to the expected amount. My 19 month old toddler decided to go wolverine on my face and scratched my cheek quite badly - it has broken the skin and produced some slight puss...will this cause scarring? Is there any way for me to treat it to avoid difficulties? I haven’t started peeling yet.
