bleach on face - #14148

Shivam

I am really freaking out right now. Last week, I accidentally used bleach on my face when I was trying to do a little DIY skin brightening. I thought maybe it would help with some dark spots I have. Stupid, right? At first, my skin just felt tingly, but then it started to burn. I washed it off quickly but now I'm dealing with redness and peeling skin, ugh. I read some stuff online about how bleach on face can lead to serious damage, which makes me even more worried! I don’t even know if I should put anything on it or just leave it alone. Like, I heard that bleach on face can cause irritation and sensitivity. What if I really messed it up? Should I be seeing a doctor or just use aloe vera or something? Should I avoid any kind of moisturizer? My friends are telling me all sorts of things, but I just want to hear from a real doctor. It’s totally freaking me out! How long does it usually take for the skin to heal after using bleach on face? Any tips on how to manage this? I really need some advice fast!
