My face is still red, it is completely broken out and it feels itchy and "sore underneath". I have no medical to go to a Dermotologist but know that this is serious...this is the first time I have ever had such terrible skin in my life and need some help...quickly! I have used Aloe Vera to sooth the skin, benzoyl perioxide (which hurts)to clear the pimples, a clay mask, and a heated soothing mask...nothing works. Can you please suggest something.
