This certainly sounds like an allergic reaction. Cosmelan has a large variety of ingredients including kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid, etc. any of which can cause an allergic reaction Hopefully, this peel was done in a physician's office where the treatment of such a reaction should be quite routine. If so, I would return there. If your peel was done in a so-called medi-spa, I would recommend a visit to a dermatologist for treatment. Unfortunately, we are becoming more and more experienced in treating untoward incidents perpetrated by our more avaricious colleagues lured into the cosmetic realm. As Dr. Chen advises, if you are having shortness of breath or weakness, head straight to an ER.
