Will my Jessner's Peel reaction go away? (photo)

sweet stuff
I had jessner's peel 10 days ago.The whole skin turned dark brown and the whole layer came of in peieces. after about 5 days, the skin around my mouth started to turn red and then became dark brown (the darkest shade which is quite visible) after the peeling had subsided. Now its very obvious & quite dry. I have sceduled my appointment with dermatologist next week but in the mean time I'm extremely worried if it will ever go away? This was my 3rd peel for the breakouts and they doubled.plz help!
