An aesthetician gave me my usual 30% lactic acid peel and burned my chin. I've used aloe vera gel, aquaphor and hydrocortisone cream for weeks and the skin has only gotten worse. The effected skin feels scaly and my moisturizer (Cerave) has no effect on that now matter how often I reapply. It also has splotches of raised red skin that peels to no end and is wrinkly in some places. Is this a scar? Is there any any way for me to at least get the raised skin to go down?

Thank you for your question. Discontinue the use of the product and follow up with your dermatologist. You will need to avoid any harsh products until the reaction has subsided. Your dermatologist should be able to prescribe you with something to help heal the area. Best wishes,Pablo...
