I Damaged my Eye with Glycolic Acid?

October 13, 2012

i left glycolic acid 30% on the brow of my nose and it must have spread to my eye and i left it there for exactly a minute... now my eye looks a little droopy... how can i get my eye to look better? I have some damage/ unwanted effects of glycolic acid on my UPPER eye lid near the tear ducts... it made it look more depressed/caved in.. i put some 30% glycolic acid on the bridge of my nose and on the top bridge where it meets the brow and a little bit near the eye tear duct area and left it there for a min... could you tell me where else i should use glycolic acid and what precautions i should use. and could you tell me when this will or if this issue will repair its self? thanks.
