I had a chemical peel under my eyes in November. I have fair Mediterranean skin, and I have melasma on my cheeks. I was red for much longer than I thought, and now it is less red, almost 8 weeks later, but not the same color as the rest of my skin. I'm also noticing some demarcation lines as a result. Is it just my skin type and the how it heals, or should I be doing something to help it along? I asked the doctor when it was still red and he told me to apply 1% steroid cream twice a day, which I have been doing for the last 2-3 weeks. Please help!
