How to treat scarring after glycolic acid peel? (photos)

Giselle.Oo
I did a glycolic acid peeling 70%, since I had done it before I didn't realize it could burn me this badly. Next day I had a lot of bruise like spots in my face. After a couple of days they started to peel off and red skin appeared. It's been 2 weeks and my skin looks uneven, raised pink marks all over my face. I didn't have any spots before or scars just wanted to prevent and minimize fine lines and look younger. What can I do to treat this spots and prevent further damage? is this reversible?
