How to treat swelling/discoloration after 60% glycolic peel done right after shaving? (Photo)

December 20, 2016
Asked By:Bachelor23 in Miami, FL

Ive done these peels for quite some time with great results, the problem this time is that I did it right after shaving and it caused puffiness (never experienced puffiness in the past) with discoloration. Is the something to worry about or will it fade on its own? I am applying Neosporin to affected area. Thanks. PS This only occurred on the area that the barber went over with with the razor.
