TCA cross gone wrong? (Photo)

liza2727
Over 3 months ago i had TCA cross done by a dermatologist for treatment of deep acne scars. The healing post treatment has been one of the most traumatic experiences. All research online told me that it would take a month to heal but here i am 3 months later and my face is red and filled with larger more prominent holes. I really need some advice. I feel like this is not normal but my derm seems to think so. Its causing me some extreme stress atm.
