Cosmelan for Dark Spot Removal

First of all I had the Cosmelan 1 on for 8 hours, it was manageable, but I was restless as there was only so much you could do. It didn't crack, but oils did come down my neck from my face so wear old clothes. I was anxious to shower it off but was fine. Within minutes my face became red. I cleansed and toned as advised and managed to sleep. My lips did swell so lots of Vaseline, blistex on them. For the next two days my face was red, very tight and swollen. Had a shine to it, but applied cosmelan 2 three times a day. Didn't find stinging too bad, I was more bothered with the tightness.

The peeling started round my mouth and nose, the hydra k didn't really give me enough moisture. Very difficult to apply the Cosmelan 2 as my skin is so dry. By end of day my whole face is scaling like a snake. First trip outside to get my nails done and was very self conscious. Everyone said it's not as bad they imagined but I didn't agree. Face very hot and my chin ended up cracking. Clinician has sent fast repair cream to help the dryness. My 'bad' area still not peeling. My end of day 5 signs of healthy skin beginning to show. I dreaded showering as I couldn't stand putting face under water. After shower I cleansed with face cloth which helped the peeling then toned, which stung a little. Lips still swollen slightly. Using hair dryer is a big NO!!!!
