On 3rd august i just did at 12% fruit (chemical) peel on my legs. Skin felt dry and itchy , some area starts to flake and as i wasn't aware of the after care, i went to peel the flaking skin and my skin looks pink, smooth and rather raw. (As shown in the attached picture) does that look normal to you ? Or is there a complication? Will it cause further scarring Or is that just part of the normal process of healing? Please help!
