I used 75% TCA to attempt to remove mole, is this discoloration going to bed or go away? (photo)

I put TCA on Q-tip and placed it on the mole, it spread into a larger circle (as you can see in picture) the area frosted and burned some, I left it on for about 2 to 3 minutes I apply neutralizer to stop the spreading. The skin looks like this, it's not flaking or dry at all and feels like normal skin. will this go away?? the directions I read to remove mole say to repeat everyday until mole comes off, but should I stop?
