June 15, 2009
Asked By:Luvin myself in tx

I just had a 30% TCA peel done 11 days ago. It frosted then dried up and peeled, and now my skin is dark. Could this be hyperpigmentation? If so will it fade over time? I am going to start using hydroquinone it is so embarrassing, but the doctors say it is normal.Will the darkness fade soon? I have to go on a summer vacation and its so embarrasing, as I cant wear my back out.
