I am Day 4 after a jessner's peel. I was told treatment would be light with a bit of peeling. she said "I'll leave it on a bit longer so you get an actual peel" I think she left it 7 mins... felt too long. My face burnt! When I left skin was burning, tight, freckles dark and swelling. day 3 there are dark patches. side of my nose blistered and cracking, skin looks raw, I'm scared for it to peel, its too deep.Only the chin has peeled. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

What you describe sounds like a pretty common event after a peel. A good peel will cause exfoliation which will cause whiteheads to empty out. I don't think you need to worry. I recommend trying to avoid any trauma to the newly exfoliated skin. Wishing you the best of health.
