Go see an M.D.
Who did this procedure for you? Was he a a Dr.? If he messed up your skin, you should take action, so that he can't hurt other people.
I'm so sorry, and hope it gets better.
Definately take vitamins that promote skin/wound healing. Vit's C, E, and zinc...and a multi-vitamin.
Be certain the multi doesn't contain Iodine, and take no more than 400IU of E, and no more than 50 mg. of zinc a day, as these can be toxic in higher doses.
Also, you may want to apply jojoba oil to your skin to keep it lubricated--you don't want to scab, bc that can cause scarring. If you Do scab, absolutely do NOT pick it, or you're certain to scar. If you can't get jojoba, use bacitracin ointment(you can get it at the drugstore). That's what my PS was going to have me put on my face for my post-op dermabrasion.
