Dear Dr. Rockoff,
Re: Permanent Damage from Glycolic, 2005
Hello. I had a similar experience with a glycolic cream almost 2 years ago and it also makes me sick to my stomach. One night before going to bed, I applied some glycolic cream to my forehead and it was burning. I washed it off, but apparently not completely. The next day, I took my dog for a walk and came back inside to notice that I had pigmentation marks on my forehead. I was so upset and still am!
I have done many Candela laser treatments to remove these marks, but they are still there. I also tried using the Elure advanced lightening duo. What should I do? Please advise.
Thank you.
