Depressed Because a Chemical Peel Ruined my Skin

Yairis

So sorry to hear about your skin reaction.  Consider reporting the esthetician to the Texas medical board.  Olive skin can hyperpigment.  This extra pigment may improve over many months.  It is possible to become clinically depressed from these types of reactions.  If you find that your overall mood is sad, have difficulty sleeping, have suicidal thoughts, these are serious signs of depression and need medical attention.  Please pay attention to your feelings and get the care you need for your emotional well being.  This will make waiting for your face to heal more bearable.

 

Yairis, your dermatologist is doing the right thing when giving you finacea. This stops the formation of pigment. It will take at least eight weeks for you to see any difference so be patient. Use sunscreen daily even if you do not think that you are getting sun. If you are not satisfied after the finacea you can ask for a bleaching cream.  Next time, have a dermatologist do your peels.

You are developing a post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.  Treatment for this type of problem includes the use of hydroquinone 4 to 8 %, Kojic acid, Retin-A, Topical steroid creams.  You can expect it to take up to 10 weeks for the pigmentation to clear. 
Also available from a compounding pharmacy is Klingman's formula which is a mixture of all of the above chemicals.
