First time glycolic peel 30% at home; redness, brown spots, early signs of scarring, face still sore after 2 hours

January 2, 2015
Asked By:jemdr in Fullerton, CA

I was impulsive and didn't do research on glycolic peel. I did a 30% at home. I had done microdermabrasion and peels at a licensed aesthetician's before, so I thought that this peel wouldn't be so bad done at home. I washed off with water after 5 minutes, then later washed with baking soda/water mixture. There's still a lot of redness and early signs of scarring. I've put oil and neosporin in the meantime. What should be my next plan of action? Thank you.
