50% self-applied TCA is dangerous! Stop and see a specialist!

What you are doing is very dangerous. You should stop self treatment with TCA and see a specialist before you destroy your skin!

Self Treatment with 50% TCA Will Always Have a Bad Outcome

Based on the skin type shown in this photo, I would never recommend that you have a 50% TCA treatment. Doing this at home is absolute insanity! Intervention by an experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist is called for ASAP.

Burns caused by 50% TCA and healing time

Working with Chemical peels is very dangerous if you are not a certified specialist. This burns and scars might last a very long time to heal since you have olive/tan cskin and can take months up to a year to fade enough to cover with makeup. I recommend seeing a specialist immediately and avoid ALL EXFOLIATION! Good Luck!
