Elidel after harsh TCA peel? What about topical NSAIDs?

BStreet
Without getting into details because it's too upsetting, I had what should have been a light peel two days ago. The wrong bottle? Strength? Who knows, was used. Anyway I had deep white frosting, now I'm brown red and even. Little purple. A few spots are peeling prematurely. It's too soon! Anyway, can I use Elidel now instead of hydrocortisone lotion? And if NSAIDs help inflammation etc. would a topical NSAID like Volteran gel help the redness and possible hyper pigmentation? It's two days and I'm a mess.
