Question

I have done cosmelon peel 5 days back. My skin peeled and became very dark. Will it come to original colour? And from when should I apply cosmelon 2 cream?

Hi, This is very normal and nothing to panic.Usually one can start using cosmelan 2 from day 5 after cosmelan 1 after which the skin will slowly lighten up. Hope you are using your sunscreens properly. But it is advisable to meet your doctor and follow their instructions. Good luck.

Normally the Cosmelan 2 is started the day following the peel application. Did no one discuss the proper steps with you and expectations? I would suggest consulting your treating office for assistance as soon as possible. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
