I brought the TCA solution on the Web and diluted it to 50%. I placed it no my tattoo and surrounding skin and left it there for 5-6 minutes. It's been 2 months already and the area is still pinkish red and prone to tearing. I've never had this kind of slow healing time before from anything done to my skin and that includes laser. I don't know what to do about this. I think my skin has been permanently damaged. The surrounding area is a variation of pickish red with some darker brown spots and other spots are lightened qiuite a bit. I really don't know what to do at this point. If anybody has any serious advice on the effects of TCA acid, please answer this question.

the acid has caused permanent damage, you may require skin grafts...as I told you before, you MUST see a dermatologist, the skin that is there could die and turn gangrenous at any time.
