Hi,

I can understand your concern for the burn caused by Trifluroacetic acid. You have not mentioned in your query the exact time period since the burn happened.

For time being period you can apply antibiotic cream such as fucidin or mupirocin and take pain killer tablet such as paracetamol or diclofenac.

Do not try to even touch or pinch the lesions as can cause more aggravation of the problem or secondary infection. Try to keep your hand elevated so that the swelling should not occur. Increase your protein intake as it helps in wound healing.

Take care
