bleach side effects on face - #14584
I am super worried about using bleach on my face after what happened last week. I was trying to lighten some scars I have from acne, and a friend suggested to mix a bit of bleach with water and apply it to my skin. I thought, why not? But the next morning I woke up with some redness and kind of a burning sensation. I didn’t think much of it at first, but then I noticed some peeling skin where I applied it. I started researching and now I’m freaked out about the bleach side effects on face!! Like, could it get worse? The stinging feeling lasted a few days, and I'm not sure if it's just a bad reaction or if there's long-term damage I gotta worry about. I mean, I know some people use it for spot treatments, but I didn’t expect my skin to react this way. Does anyone else have experience with bleach side effects on face? How long does it usually take for skin to heal? Should I just avoid it completely from now on or is there a way to treat this? Any advice would be super appreciated!
