How do I treat a burn from a 50% glycolic peel? I had a Jessner peel 2 1/2 weeks ago so my skin is fragile and brand new (photo)

I had previously been getting 35% glycolic peels weekly. I purchased a 50% glycolic peel online. I figured I was used to 35% so it would be ok. I left it on for 6-7 minutes and washed it off thoroughly. A few areas were left white and two spots a chunk of skin just came right off. I have been applying moisturizer and aloe liberally and I bought Aquaphor today. My cheeks feel like they will definitely peel. I am scared my new skin peeling again so quickly will cause damage. What should I do?
