Asked By:sunnyman in Richmond, BC

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! I'm really sad. And I did pick on the peeling skin. My doctor is always busy and my mom can't drive me there!
