The other night I believe that I accidentally burned my skin! I was using Epiduo in the morning then I did a AHA peel in the night and the areas affected, where I had a slight break out, were inflamed and looked like they were blistered. After I washed the peel off I was left with really red inflames areas. It's the next day now and I'm left with dark red/brownish spots on my chin! What can I do to lessen the redness and how long will it take to clear up?
