TCA Cross, I think I ruined my skin!!!! Can anyone help?! (photos)

Asked By:Kerissa15 in Kansas City, MO

I put 30% TCA on my scars on Saturday night... I read to dip a toothpick into the TCA and apply pressure into the scar and hold for a few seconds. My scars all appear rounded like the impression of a toothpick mark now. They don’t seem to look any better at all and it’s been 3 days. they are wider and deeper and slightly scabbed over and the scabs that have come off are BRIGHT red... Any suggestions on what I can do? Or if this is normal? Or how bad did I damage my skin? Thanks
