I had a chemical peel on monday, and my skin peeled on wednesday morning and now i have what looks like hypopigmentation. Is it possible that this is temporary? Or is there a treatment i can do to help my skin? Sorry if the photos are bad, the lighting in my room is horrible.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus...
Ethically, you should be managed by a medical dermatologist. Yes, lasers and lights can help- that is my realm, however based on best practices, you should see a medical dermatologist for topicals, tabs and investigations. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia
Thank you for your question! You should not pick at, scrub or exfoliate the area. The scab should eventually flake off. If you have any concerns you should contact your physician for further instructions. Best of luck!
