What Can Be Done For TCA 10% Concentration Burn Scars Around my Axillary Area?

Hi, I went to a skin center and let my underarm treated. It was treated by a nurse. The first 2 treatment, the peeling was ok. The nurse applied 3 coatings for each treatment. On the 3rd treatment the nurse decided to make it 5 coatings. I felt a tingling sensation and thought it was the chemical doing its thing. But little did I know it was burning my skin. The underarm was ok but the skin surrounding my underarm got burnt! It's a brown burnt scar. What can i do? Please help me.
