Professional strength chemical peels are for professionals
A professional strength chemical peel, such as a 70% glycolic acid peel, is easy to apply but there is a reason it is for professional use. A professional knows who the appropriate patient is, when to use or not use the peel, how to minimize the risk of complications, and what to do should they occur. See a board-certified dermatologist to manage your complications and don't treat yourself with professional strength products unless you are a professional.

You should go see a specialist instead of treating yourself.
Get an appointment with a good dermatologist who specializes in aesthetic treatments, so that you can get the best care and avoid complications from you self inflicted peel.

What kind of peel?
There are many kinds of peels. Hard to know what has happened without knowing what peel and how you look but I think that you should see a dermatologist and have this taken care of properly.

You need to see a qualified physicain
You have not indicated what kind of chemical you have used. I would suggest that you find a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to make sure you are OK.

Burns after at-home peel
You need to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon skilled in peeling to help you weather this crisis. Please don't do this again. It is so easy to hurt yourself trying at-home remedies. I hope you do not have any permanent injury.

Don't do your own home peels. This is highly dangerous.

What you are describing is that you burned your own skin and now you are in trouble. I strongly advise that you immediately see a dermatologist, facial plastic surgeon, or general plastic surgeon to assess your face and determine what you need. Just because you can buy these products on-line does not mean that this is a safe or prudent thing to do. Good luck.
