Why does my face flush from pink to red on certain days? (Photo)

Asked By:ohbabz in Cleveland, OH

I had a deep chemical peel 48 days ago. My healing is going very well. Most days I see the redness fading to pink, but then I will flush red for several hours or even longer. Eventually it fades back to pink, but I'm wondering if these periods of redness are normal.
