How Long Does It Takes for Skin to Be Back to Normal After a Salicylic Acid Burn? (photo)

NehaGupta
I just had a salicylic chemical peel for my acne. Its 2nd day now, and my face is burned in all the areas treated. The skin is getting dry, patchy and sensitive. Not sure what should i do to get it back to normal. Is it Normal? how long will it take to get better? will it leave scares on my face? please advice.
