When Does Skin Usually "Peel" After 20% Salicylic Chemical Peel?

matheme
I just had a 20% salicylic chemical peel for my acne. its been 3 days now and i have scabs in all the areas treated and the skin feels tight. the doc said it would sting a bit during the procedure. But i felt like my whole face was burning. is it normal? the doc did not tell me that my face wud look this way..though she said it would peel off in 2-3 days. i have posted a pic of how it looks 2 days after the procedure. is it normal?
