Hi Carolyn! I am sorry this is happening. Anything that mars our furniture is very frustrating, but helpful advice is available to you. Good luck and best wishes on getting your recliner back to its original beauty.

Peeling faux leather chair
I've had success using leather repair kits that have liquid vinyl in them and a grain press to copy the grain of the existing surface. They include instructions.
It is hard to repair to make it look good so why not consider making new arm covers for your chair with any fabric to your liking.
go to a thrift store and find a vintage real leather piece!
