Do I have a chemical burn from jessners peel? How should I treat? (photos)

ellyharvick
I am Day 4 after a jessner's peel. I was told treatment would be light with a bit of peeling. she said "I'll leave it on a bit longer so you get an actual peel" I think she left it 7 mins... felt too long. My face burnt! When I left skin was burning, tight, freckles dark and swelling. day 3 there are dark patches. side of my nose blistered and cracking, skin looks raw, I'm scared for it to peel, its too deep.Only the chin has peeled. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
