Can Vi peel burn your skin? I have a black spot on my forehead. Is it dangerous if it goes into eyes during application? (Photo)

Question

I have started feeling burning on my forehead right after the vi peel. The rest of the face was normal. Next morning it looked like it was injured and had black scar. Now on 6 day my whole face is done peeling skin but that scare is looking same. It is also hurts, even when I am applying moisturizer. Is it going to be normal. I also have got some chemical in my eye. Now it is very itchy and watering. What should I do.

It does look to me as if you had a superficial injury from the peel.  I would return to the person who performed the peel and have them assess this wound.  You may need a combination of a topical corticosteroid, vaseline, a lightening agent, and a heal light to expedite healing of this lesion.  Peels should not get into the eye as they can cause injury.  Best of luck!
