How To Cure Peeled Skin Due To Application Of TCA?

Hi.I used tca to remove a tattoo a few weeks ago.the peel went quite deep and I am having trouble keeping it dried out.I clean with salt water then clean again with diluted dettol. I have started to let air get to it during the day as it dries out ok but when I cover it at night it has wept during the night.
It weeps a just a little during the day and I pat it dry with kitchen towel.up until a couple of days ago I had it covered up through out the day- changing it three times but I have noticed letting the air get to it helps.
I went to get it checked out by my doctor who said is wasn't infected but it's just taking a ling time to dry out without weeping.I have an antibacterial and antiseptic cream that I gave tried using that's called Brulidine but it wasn't helping.I have heard that using an acne cream can dry it out and I have some Quiniderm.I tried this a couple times but stopped as I believe it will burn the top layer away that is trying to form.
Any advice would be appreciated with thanks in advance.
Kind regards
