Can a mandelic acid 30% cause burned skin on the cheeks and broken capillaries or is temporarily?

Question

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 ?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. The in-person examination will enable you and your surgeon to diagnose the effects of Mandelic acid peel and determine the best step forward. In-office laser treatment are the most effective approach to laser peel, rather than the in0home over-the-counter treatments. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

My suggestion would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified physician. The best way to determine the best treatment plan for you would be to have an in-person examination and a physician can diagnose the effects of the acid peel that you had done. Best, Dr. Green
