the light part on the top of your hand isn't burnt. It's your natural skin color underneath. I did this to myself also. Just take some hydroquinone and slather it where it's burnt (dark) make sure you put enough so that it's visible (not all rubbed in), more than enough. The next day it's gonnal be really dry and peel again. Apply more hq (I used nadinola) It about 4 days it will clear up.
On the red parts, I would use aloe vera, or some type of skin soothing/healing treatment.

 

Yes blackgirl, you should mix your lightening cream with a moisturiser and apply enough to counteract any dryness, you should be fine in the days to come.

 

Yes, please use products as directed!! You'll be alright DBG111, hopefully you'll heal nice with no visible scars.

 

acids can be dagerous, i use gloves & sectio by section method & no acid in bet. fingers. yes, if you don't use a mild lightener, it will darken. i hope your HQ is not high %.

 

i don't use HQ on my body just shea butter and Eucerin AHA alternating days. i tried to even my knuckles not fry my hands! now i have to use the ambi i use on my face to even the scars. ambi is 2% HQ with AHA i love it.

 

Please don't use HQ on those burnt area. I suggest you to use skin success palmer's (without HQ) and a lot of cocoa butter, you'll heal in 3weeks

 

My suggestion :Just put some Vaseline on it for a couple of days(4 tops ), it's the best and fastest healer in my opinion.

 

I totally agree with you on that, Vaseline & Emu oil has been my best friend for such issues

 

i don't think vaseline has any healing properties in itself, it does soothe and form a protective sealant over the area. Avene Cicalfate, or diaper rash cream which has high percentage of zinc oxide promotes healing and prevention of scarring. You can find them at any drugstore just pick the one with the highest percentage of zinc

 

@blackgirl111
LA 88% has to be mixed
(Kassysix/Maatra suggestion was Vaseline Lotion or Jergens Firming Lotion)
Check there threads out, - the container states willlllll Burn.

 

i didn't know that thanks! i use eucerin AHA already on my body so i didn't want to mix more acid in my body moisturizer. i read LA peel knock out the hyperpigmentation on your knuckles, yes it does but this stuff is freaking strong! i bought LA peel in bulk but the company i bought it from only had the 88%. i was too lazy to dilute it, i pay the prize.

 

Don't bother putting HQ on it, just moisturize it as often as possible and it will peel off in no time. Do NOT pick at it though, it will fall of when it is ready.

 

i put shea butter on it a lot now. shea butter is a great moisturizer right? i love it. i really hope the rest of the skin will fall off soon. thanks tongry.

 

to prevent any furthur burning next time you do it, when you go to wash it off, put baking soda on it, it'll neutralize it and it'll feel way better lol.

 

Diaper rash cream or pure aloe vera gel is the best way to go to promote healing from burns. Shea butter (all natural) should help it, as well.

 

you've gotten great advice.

you'll be fine. Last year, I left on some GA (trying to peel my forehead while home alone with the kids..forgot it was on). I didn't remember until late that night. It peeled in a few days, then was very red then went dark dark brown. It was like a big brand on my forehead for a month or so.

I can laugh now. Concealer to the rescue.

After it healed, I got back on course and I only do peels when I can focus and someone else can watch the children.

 

pure aloe is amazing.. Im getting laser done on an old tattoo and the aloe is my best friend.

 

between my fingers have peeled (and still peel) so much, they left hyperpigmentation (dark marks) whereas else on my hands it's lighter.. it's a mess! what can i do to even out these scars? the ambi i use on my face?
lactic acid is destroying my hands help !

 

i must admit i overdid it with peels. i was applying it almost everyday for 2 weeks. my permatan is gone my arms, hands and knuckles have become lighter but between my fingers i have PIH. what can i do to even out?

i'm going to take a break for awhile i'm weary of acid peels

 

I went thru the same thing about 2 months ago and let me tell you you are in for a treat!!!

that skin is going to be so damn pretty. and any lotion that you use on your skin will work even better and penetrate really well. trust me on this.

be sure to wear sunblock going out. you're on your way now

and the finger will be the first to become lovely. Congrats ahead of time.

 

thank you whitegift!
yes my skin has never been so even. bright and glowing thanks to the info i've gained in this site. but i will never put too much acid peels on my skin, ever !

 

A&d zinc oxide cream for diaper rash seem to work really well on irriated skin i find it heals in 24hr its magical.
