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

jaypapes12May 4, 2017
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

I would use Elevase Moisture Booster on the areas twice daily and make sure there is no inadvertent sun exposure that may cause it to pigment. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hi,thanks for your question.I would suggest dermaroller would be good solution for your concern but by a dermatologist.He can also teach you the correct way to get rid of your scars. Pls treasure your face as anything done in an improper manner may worsen your facial skin.
