Hi I have a normal clear skin and every night i use a mild retinol ,not the strongest one with prescription ,and one day i used a Mandelic acid peel on my skin the day after and it's been 2 weeks that i have like a red mark on my cheeks and few capillaries that i didn't have before! i've been very gentle on the skin,using vitamin E and aloe vera ,but i'm really scared that i permanently damaged my skin with burned scars! do you think they will fade or i will need laser treatment ?
