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!

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!
