Chemical Burn As A Result of Using Benzol Peroxidea/

As a result of using BP 4%, two large irritation spots formed on my face that have evolved into two brown patches that almost look like two patches of sun tanned skin, both of which are located on the side of my eyes. This is causing me so much distress that I even feel suicidal. The notion that I wound up burning my face and scarring myself is really like a worst fear coming true for me. I have consulted 3 doctors concerning these two brown patches.

Initially, I contacted a regular family physician who had essentially said that I was stuck with the the patches I've incurred and said they were in fact scars, while the two dermatologists both had the sense that the patches would ultimately fade. I had also called one pharmacist who had said to me that what I described to her over the phone, did in fact sound like a scar, which makes me think that these two large brown patches of skin by my eyes will never be normal again.

A scar never heals, so how could these marks ever truly go away?

Am I stuck with these two large brown patches for the rest of my life?
