Was my micropeel too aggressive? How long before this heals? Should I see a doctor? (Photo)

Asked By:Sheri9875 in Face

I had a micropeel done last night and I ended up with these stripes all across my face. I believe the esthetician did 2 or 3 passes across my cheeks then followed up with 30% glycolic peel. This is only my second time ever having a micropeel and the first one was nothing like this. It looks and feels like a brush burn so I put neosporin on it, but I have a wedding to go to in 5 days. How long before this heals? Should I be using neosporin or something else? Should I see the doctor?
