TCA Cross failure

I have done my tca cross(100%) at home 3months ago and until now my face became worst and I don't know what to do. Seems like it burns my skin and cannot recover. Please help me I need a solution.. :(

If you can get silvadene or any silver based salve to apply generously before sleep. Alternate
with fresh aloe gel applied liberally throughout the day. Also zinc creme applied on burned places is good.
Stop the tca cross treatments, too. Forgot to say that.
I'm not sure BUT I've been doing my own peels for years and high solutions. My non professional experience ( but lots of experience) would possibly look into a much lower concentrate ( dilute to 50 or 35 percent). Then take fam brush and do entire area or face. This has worked for me. BUT AGAIN I AM NOT A professional. I have spent countless hours researching and know more then many "professionals" when it comes to TCA.
I have damage from poorly administered at-home chemical peel done several years ago in my early 20s. The damage has only recently become more apparent and I'm very saddened by this. It includes hyperpigmention, indented slashes, streaks, and large sunken areas. Most of this is a result of me being young and ignorant of the proper protocol for these peels. I hate that I now have this lasting damage. It really is important to be educated on peels. Unfortunately, I cannot go back in time.
And yet you do not know NOT to use a fam brush. Try a cotton gauge ball or pad and squeeze out the acid next time. Your method has chance of liquid rolling down and uncontrolled. Spent many countless hours and know more eh?
I had drips as well ( mainly as mentioned below the fan brush and carelessness. ). That said I have horrible scars from Mrsa wounds on my face. I don’t trust many Drs at this point as 4 -5 just threw antibiotics vs doing a biopsy as I asked. I have HORRIBle anxiety and agoraphobia because of my CHRONIC Mrsa symptoms. But as far as the drops and color what I did was . I lowered the strength completely down to 10/15 and then just did them randomly. It has helped with the streaks and discoloration. Good luck. I’m praying insurance will help ne w scar revision bcus it obviously affected my daily living. I don’t even work anymore and I go stir crazy quarantined until my room and have not even hugged my two boys in 2-3 years and that’s the most heartbreaking. All I want is to be able to be in a picture with them. I miss them when I’m quarantined to my room. My house was always filled with kids and now I’m at too embarrased to even let them see me. I pray everyday that they will fix me. Prayers haven’t worked though. Good luck to you I’ll put you in the prayers in case they ever do work.
Hey man, dont know what to do. I guess you must go and chase a doctor who can help ya!
Hi there. I think the 100% tca was way to high. You should of started out with a 15% or 20%. Now that you have this damage you could go have a consultation with a professional and see what they recommend. Then you might can try some of their suggestions at home. I hope everything goes well for you.
