update - nhs doctor gave me a medicine called emolvan os something he kept saying my tca burn and keloid was acne it did not have a clue.i decided to got o a skin specialist private he said go on oxytetracycline,do diode light therapy to help healing and next week he will put injection to test if my keloid reduces then do the rest.he is very good and knows what he is talking about he said anything else would be too harsh on skin like laser.I will put pictures up again in a months time.
good luck. I feel terrible for you!! I really hope it all works out well in the end
Thanks I'm going to need itx
Have you healed?
It looks as though you have scarring, which I am sorry to say is permanent. You need to see a good doctor about scar revision, and possibly steroid treatment. You should NEVER attempt to do a peel like this at home, ever. You're lucky it didn't end up worse.

I had a 50 percent tca from my brother art home...

i had a 50 percent tca from my brother art home and after three months it looks like the picture above.Raw red?lumpy its horrific not even doctors help.She sent me to a NHS dermatologist who is thinking of putting me on accutane.But as far as I know accutane sucks all the oils in your body wont these burns get worse?it will heal the spots but im scared shes going to ruin my face even more... some areas are indented in teh face others flat and have blistors in..no ones helping me...

what does red skin mean? what does blisters mean?healing or not think its permanant? what can i do to recover?i have spent so much money on creams nothing works.

thanks i went to a nhs dermatologist and has told me to use celtch or kel-cote gel.which is working well.i was usingf aloe vera straight after the peel and the gel was just covered in blood by the morning.The doctor is wanting to put me on accutane...im not sure she knows what she is doing from my research.thanksxx
Stop trying dermatology procedures at home. Your skin and your health is not worth the risk!
i know that now....after its too late
Why would you use 50%? You should always start with a low percentage to see how your skin reacts.
It really appears that the blemishes are red with active acne, so it is difficult to tell what the TCA did and what was already inflamed from his breakout. A patch test should have been done first, using a weak TCA, not 50%. Most people selling TCA acids state that a patch test is highly recommended... and this is why.
