Question

I would recommend a combination of Elevase ceramide cream and Melarase PM at this point to sooth the skin and reduce pigmentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

This type of peel shouldn't burn the skin. I suggest you see an expert for formal skin care at this time.  Best, Dr. Emer.
