Red Areas After Phenol Peel. Applied Temovate Cream. Want Opinion

On May 2nd I had a phenol peel from a plastic surgeon in my area. I am very fair complexion, sensitive skin and the burn has not healed completely. I have several areas that are red and some that are very pink in color. I have stayed in my house for 2 months and recently was able to apply GloMineral makeup to be able to cover up the redness. My surgeon gave me a prescription a week ago for Temovate Cream and I am seeing very little improvement, but because of the constant burning I have had I am feeling some relief from the burn. I just read that I should only use it for 2 weeks and be aware of HPA Suppresion which I do not understand the affects that I may have. I do not need any additional issues as I am beside myself because of fear this may be permanent. I would appreciate another opinion.
