3 days ago I applied salicylic acid on my forehead because of acne and it got burnt, patchy and dry, then i peeled it off the next day. Then my skin is now raw and pink, then i apply coconut oil as mosturizer. Is it okay? Any suggestion and advice of how it will heal? How long does it take? Can I use peeling products again after it healed? Does this mark scars? If ever, how will I treat it and be gone? Please, hope you answer my question because it's really freaking me out :'(

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
I would recommend a combination of Elevase ceramide cream and Melarase PM at this point to sooth the skin and reduce pigmentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
A chemical peel does not always produce peeling, but may still produce results. I would wait 7-14 days, and if you do not see a results, go back to your MD to re-evaluate. Best, Anita Gill MD
This should be done by a board certified professional to avoid any long term issues. There is risk of scarring and change in pigmentation if not done correct. Best, Dr. Emer.
