Could I have burned my face with Perfect Derma Peel (even if I followed directions to the letter)? (Photo)

Asked By:ingrownobsessed in New York, NY

I had the Perfect Derma Peel done at my dermatologists 2 months ago. I had no problems, no pain & left the office with a nice tan. Even left it on overnight. Tonight I did it myself : during, my face felt on fire (7/10) now-3 hrs later (3/10). No tan at all-just really red. Like a bad sunburn. The only difference I can think of from prior experience is I went over my skin a few times more than my MD did. Is this redness normal or is it possible I burned my face? Should i just wash the tx off?
