Can I Repair the Deep Wrinkles and Blotchy Skin That a Series of 25%TCA Peels Caused? (photo)

I did a series of home 25%TCA peels that initially looked great but now has left my skin dry, crepey, red, blotchy and wrinkled with hundreds of tiny lines on face and neck. I'm devastated, I'm 33 and have aged 6-8 years in 1 year. My skin is so rough I can see the grooves and bumps in window reflections. I can't hide it with makeup as the skin is so dry it looks worse. I can't afford professional help but if that's what I need please tell me so I may save for it. I desperately want to undo it:'(

ME TOO. I did 15% TCA at home to correct acne scars. I'd had professional peels before and thought I would just take their recommendation of one every two weeks for a series of 8. I am 26, I did them when I was 24, and I have these lines when I smile that were never there before. It dried out my skin and left permanent damage, please let me know if you get any answers.
