After reading the Q&A related topics on failed at-home peels, I fear the worst. I have definately burned my face w/jessners 35% tca and now 5 wks post peel have used 4% lightening cream once in a while, apply tea tree w/jojoba oil before silicone often as possible. Is diluted tca actually a solution to rid chemical burn? Are photofacial, Elos, or laser resurfacing possible solutions I should consider?
