I was taking a warm shower on the third day after my getting microneedling done. I was gently massaging my face during the shower to remove excess soap and my skin started to peel off. Now I am aware that skin normally does peel after microneedling, but is it normal for it to peel during a warm shower? Will this affect the end result because the skin peeled off in the shower? Will micro scabs formed leave a scar on your face if peeled off?
