Help! Chemical Peel After Effects!

August 16, 2014

Hello: My girlfriend got chemical peeling done about 5 months ago (Early April, 2014). After the peel, she had dark patches all over her face and neck. Her face has improved quite a bit since then but her neck seems to still have some pigmentation. I don't know what to do about it. She keeps crying every time she sees herself and is unable to go out in public without a scarf around her neck. The peeling was done in India where we reside. For her face, she had been using Kojivit and Fairlite as per the doctors recommendation and for her neck she was using Pacroma. It has been almost 2 months now and she hasnt been using anything. The doctor who did the peeling said that the skin will go back to normal within days but its been 5 months now. Whenever she tries to contact him, he keeps telling her it will go away but doesnt give a definite period of time or a plan of action on how it can go away. Any help on the matter is greatly appreciated. I'm terribly upset to see her like this. Regards, Nik
