Chemical peel
I got chemical peel 2days back today my skin started getting peel off. I washed my face and then while applying moisturiser I peeled off my skin without my knowledge now it is looking very red and patchy.
Doctor has given me only moisturiser and sunscreen. What should I do now I peeled my skin?? Will it remain same like redness or it will come back to normal skin.
Please help me I'm worried..

It's normal for your skin to peel and become red after a chemical peel. It's important not to peel off the skin yourself, as this can cause irritation and redness. Continue using the moisturizer and sunscreen as prescribed by your doctor. Keep the skin well-hydrated and avoid any harsh products or treatments for now. The redness should subside over the next few days to weeks as your skin heals. If the redness or irritation worsens, or if you have any concerns, kindly schedule an appointment for further advice.
