Chemical Peel Burn Scar, What Will Help?

I perform many chemical peels in my Los Angeles office and regularly speak about hyperpigmentation with deep peels during cosmetic meetings.  I would begin treatment with Melarase cream asap to prevent discoloration. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

It does sound like you over treated and possibly burned areas of your face. Peels should never be done as a home treatment as they are dangerous and can leave permanent damage when applied incorrectly. I would recommend going to see your aesthetician or doctor for their opinion on the best treatment option. Keep your skin very hydrated with a post peel balm or aquaphor, this will help reduce the potential damage caused to the skin. DO NOT go in the sun to even out your skin tone. Doing this could lead to potential permanent discoloration. Wear SPF everyday (especially while you are healing). HQ products can be used after your skin is completely healed (6 to 8 weeks) but consult with your skin care provider to find one that will work well with your skin type. I do not recommend using a dermaroller on your skin especially while it is healing. 

A chemical peel is an injury to the skin which chemically removes the top layers allowing the new, fresh layers to resurface the areas treated. Redness is not uncommon after this this procedure once healed. It may take several weeks for this to lighten, but in general, one should be vigilant about sun protection and following up with your treating physician. He or she will best determine how significant the discoloration is and how best to hasten its resolution.

I certainly hope that this was not a self administered chemical peel.  If so you need to be seen by a dermatologist as soon as possible to prevent permanent scarring and injury. 

My recommendation would be to return to the physician who administered the peel and ask for Biafine emulsion. This will hasten healing. Be sure to wear a sunscreen in the SPF 50 range. Absolutely do not tan! Take Zinc Gluconate 25 m.g. twice a day and Vitamin C 500 mg. twice a day. If you do develop hyper-pigmentation I would recommend Tri-Luma.
