After peeling off a chemical peel, my skin has become extremely red and tight. Does this indicate that my skin will peel again, or is it a sign of scarring?
Thank you for sharing your picture. It was unwise to perform the procedure without proper guidance. This could lead to increased pigmentation and potential scarring. I strongly recommend that you immediately consult with your physician for instructions on how to care for the affected area at this point.
Hyperpigmentation is a potential risk for you, and it is important to take steps to reduce that risk. I recommend using a regimen that targets hyperpigmentation, such as the Melarase AM and Melarase PM creams. Additionally, you may benefit from Melapeels in the future to further improve your skin complexion. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon will provide more personalized recommendations.
Apologies for picking off the chemical peel. If you had a TCA peel, removing it can result in prolonged redness. Contact your treating doctor for advice. If this was a DIY at-home peel, consult your regular doctor. Avoid touching your face, protect it from the sun, and use cool compresses until you see a physician. Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes. - [Doctor's Name]
