I used a product that had salicylic acid and I dont know if it was purging my skin but my face went from completely clear to totally breaking out. Now I can't get it to go away and my face is swollen and red and sore. Please help me. I'm using cerva now with no salicylic acid. I don't know if I should go back to using it if it's purging!!
I recently purchased a 20% Salicylic acid peel off of Amazon. I had done the process right the first time around, with no problem but with no results to show for it. The second time around, I forgot to 'degrease' my skin with rubbing alcohol. I felt an intense burning around where it's reddest in the picture I attached. I previously had a minor sunburn, but I thought it healed up before I applied this peel. Please let me know if I need to seek medical/professional help.
I had a 20% salicylic peel almost three weeks ago, and my face remains super red. The dr put me on a desonide cream treatment and I've been using it twice daily for 10 days with no changes in the redness. I'm very discouraged and hate the way my skin looks, it looks like I had a horrible sunburn on my face! When could I expect this to go away? And will the sun make it worse or permanent? (I'm going on vacation in Florida and will be in the sun a lot).
I foolishly tried a regime of salicylic acid to treat a mole. The mole seemingly disappeared however...this remains. It's been a week since I've stopped treatment and I cover it with neosporin and vasaline daily. But the redness hasn't subsided much if at all.
Hey i did a 20% salicylic acid peel 3 days ago it peeled all ready i think its very fast , and its very red and sensetiv never had that reaction before should I expect any pigmentation and how long the redness will remain will I peel again?
I had my first 18% chemical peel done yesterday (22/07/11) for mild/mod acne (I have never had a chem peel prior). And today I am very red/ brown and patchy around my mouth and on the left side of my nose and under my eye. Is this normal? Or have I sustained a burn or hyper-pigmentation? I had it done in my derm's office; however, they are closed for the wknd and just wanted some advice.
I have raw skin on my face from a salicylic acid peel. I need help on how to treat it so i don't scar. I had my peel done 2 days ago. When I was in class my skin started to break and I peeled it off (my doctor didn't tell me not to peel it off). So when I peeled it off, the skin was pink and it was brown everywhere else so I kept peeling it off on my chin area. But I thought it was okay to peel because when I pulled it, it came off really easily and did not bleed. She told me to put BLUE EMU CREAM on it, so i have constantly kept it on. Is there anything else I should do???
