I recently did an at home chemical peel with 55% lactic acid. But after leaving it on for 7 minutes. My skin was burning. I immediately rinsed it off and washed it with a gentle cleanser, but my skin hurts so bad even touching my eyelids hurt. My face is fine but my cheek is the problem. It's red and "burn" looking!
