i bought 70% glycolic acid and it said in the instructions to go ahead and leave it on for 15 minutes. So i did and it scabbed and took at least a month for the scab to go away... now there is a red mark there and on the corners of my nose it is red. its been like 4 months too. am i stuck like this for life now?:(
 
im sorry. I know it sux... I am in somewhat of a similar situation. I was using a glycolic wash and was in the Bahamas 3 months ago. Guess it caused sensitivity.I had sun block on but I thnk I sweat it off and now have my cheek somewhat darker than the rest of my face.. Been ove 3 months actually. Derm said its sun damage and it goes away but takes a long time...I am assuming yours will also go but take a long time...

I once had a burn from something and it took over a year to completely go...Right now I am using something called Jason Ester C skin ton balancer. I just started it last week so dont know how it works. I am also using 15% glycolix paRAB (I am assuming you dont want glycolic acid.)

You should see your derm. May prescribe a llightener or something...Good luck !
 
70% OMG what were you thinking !! I use 13%, leave on 5 minutes and it never burns my skin. I'm sorry you went through that. Gentle treatments seem effective and won't hurt your skin.
 
ya it is darker some. what do you mean a long time? 1 year? its sensitive to lightiner though and gets irritated.
 
PLOCKMESH: I did the same thing. How long did it take for the redness to go away? Does it go away fully? Thanks
