Hello I did a chemical peel four days ago. I’ve only been peeling when I was my face. And I see that on my right cheek and chin I have pink skin. It’s a big dry and it burns but not terribly bad. My question is will this scar and become darker? I know you’re not supposed to pick it but I accidentally did in that same area so it could’ve peeled too early because of me. And should I be worried about my skin being pink? Thank you for your time.
