Itchy Skin, Red Blotches, Sores On Feet, Skin Peeling. Used Degreaser Detergent. Allergic Reaction Or Chemical Burn?

I believe i have an alergic reation, or chemical burn on my feet due to a engine degreaser detergent i was using while wearing sandals, my skin has become itchy, red blotchy type sores on the arches of my feet,toes are raw, a couple layers of skin have come off. I noticed this about three weeks ago and symptoms have only progressed. If you have any advice, please and thank you.
