Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
It is normal to develop mild redness and peeling after a chemical peel. If the spots look burnt-like, please revisit your dermatologist. You may need a mild steroid till the scab peels away.
It will take multiple sessions(4-6) for the lightening of dark spots.
I would suggest that you use glycovira cream only after the redness completely subsides.
Use a good sunscreen every 4 hours as peeling make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Hope this helps you.
take care.
