Salicylic acid peel burn! Dark spots don't look good (Photo)

May 4, 2017
Asked By:jaypapes12 in Columbia, SC

ive had many of these peels before but not as frequently as I did this time. I did this peel only a week after my last one. The skin turned white immediately and this is what it looks like 24 hours after. I've been applying aquaphor and hemp seed oil & staying out of sunlight. Are there any more recommendations? Will it scar or just peel off like normal? I've never had it this dark before after a peel
