I used this at home on my cheek for about 5 mins. I had frosting. I washed it off but now I have this reddish/brown colored circle on my cheek. How long will this last will it go away?

Answer: Will Red Spot from Home TCA Peel Go Away?
Generally speaking, I do not recommend home peeling, especially with something like TCA (trichloracetic acid). TCA is a strong chemical and when applied improperly to the skin, permanent discoloration and scarring can result. Sometimes discoloration can also lead to hypertrophic (thickened) scars which can be difficult to get rid of. For now, I would be extremely careful with the sun and try a cortisone cream on the red spot. You would probably benefit most by seeing a dermatologist.
