Asked By:peace1234 in Miami, FL

I underwent obagi blue radiance peel yesterday. This is day 2 and I have lot of bluish discoloration over my skin. more on right cheek and right chin? I was told that this is normal. But to me it looks like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation? Please advice. Does post inflammatory hyperpigmentation happen too soon after peel? If yes, what should I do?
