My gender is female my age is 56 skin type used to be healthy except for some wrinkles. Over a year ago I had purchased a chemical peel online and went with a different brand that I usually go with. It said it was TCA so I did not neutralize it. The next day I woke up and had severe chemical burns all over my face. I now keep getting small brown spots that turn into holes or they stay brown spots on my face. What could it be?
