After the peeling takes place from a VI peel, is it normal to have inflamed sensitive skin underneath in some spots? (Photo)

I am a blonde with kinda fair skin and I'm on day 4 of my VI peel. I have been using my sunscreen and post peel cream but There are areas around my mouth and chin that has finished peeling and it has revealed skin underneath that is raw itchy and irritated in some spots. Are these areas where the peel went deeper than it should have, or could it be a possible infection? How can I safeguard myself from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or an infection if this is the case?
