Is It Bad to Manually Peel Your Skin After a Chemical Peel?

March 29, 2009
Asked By:hygienegirl in California

I got a medium depth chemical peel about two days ago and my face was very dry and had thick patches of brown tough dead skin. The skin began to crack open so I began peeling off my skin, which exposed very pink fresh skin that bleed a little bit. Is this a bad thing??? I don't know if I should have peeled off the brown patches only two days after getting the peel???
