Hyperpigmentation after chemical peel

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

Hi! I had a at home peeling done to my legs and arms. It has been 7 days, the peeling is gone and the skin is rough and brown on the peeled areas. The color is 2-3 shades darker than the non treated area(i was also left with some minor scars). I look brown/purple. I do not know what to do about it, I live in Erope so many whitening products are banned. I have no idea what kind of products to use. What is the best method to get rid of the dark skin in about 3 months?

you could looking for kojic acid containing cream... also use sunscreen in day time... apply a moisturiser if there is dryness... you have probably burnt your skin with a higher concentration of peel agent or using it for a longer time than needed. I do not know the brand names of the medications in Europe so can't help more in detail. hope this was helpful.
