The area that has blanched was spot treated with a Modified Jessners peel. The ingredients of that peel are Lactic Acid (14%), Salicylic Acid (14%), Kojic Acid (3%) and Citric Acid. It was applied by a professional and was supposed to be good for sensitive skin types. Should I be worried? I have had a chemical peel in the past without any complications. What would you suggest that I treat these areas with to avoid any adverse reactions? And how long can this last?... Thank you.
