TCA 15% burn? Hyperpigmentation? Normal? What's happening on my face? (photo)

o.a.martin
I have myself a 15% TCA peel and I noticed the skin under my lips is a darker more pink color then the rest of my skin. I'm still healing from it so I wasn't sure if what I'm experiencing is normal or not... Did I burn myself, or is this normal? This is day 3 after the peel.
