I burned underneath my eye

June 14, 2026 3:09pm CST
I burned underneath my eye with Salicylic acid Woke up today and got a right shock when I looked in the mirror Yvonne was quite upset when she saw the mess I was applying the 26% strength version to a black spot I want rid of as I never get spots Didn't notice at the time Well I noticed it now ouch I got some Savlon on it so I should be alright not Don't ever mess about with Salicylic acid, especially not near the eyes.

@MommyOfEli2013 It was a bit scary It will be a while before I can run under the eye again Siobhan just came in and she was visibly shocked when she saw me But she said she would make me feel better later on, what ever that means

Oh my goodness, the skin of your under-eye area is much thinner and more sensitive than anywhere else on your face. Never do that again.

@Ineeddentures - What you did is very dangerous for your eye.

I don't think it will heal quickly Eva I did a lot of damage I hope it heals so it's not noticeable I might be scarred for life
