Did a 70% glycolic peel 3 weeks back and it left 2 burn scars. will the scars be permanent? what can i do to get rid of em' as early as possible.

Scar management: If you healed your wounds within three weeks then you may escape longterm sequelae by managing the burnt areas with a scar care cream and sunblock. You would likely use the products for about 6 months. Don't use tanning booths in this period.
