Hello, at first i have to apologize for my english! I am not a native speaker. I had a phenol peel on friday, so its my 4. day after the peel. I developed some serious crusting and some were hanging loose on my skin So i carefully pulled the loose skin off. My skin feels very sensitiv and i have a slight burning sensation on the red new skin. May it posibble that i get some scarring now because i picked on the loose skin?
