Sensitive skin type, but I never really had acne, just black heads. Never pimples. Currently I'm having unbalanced hormones because of taking emergency contraceptive, so I broke out with two huge, deep painful blemishes, so I immediately got proactiv and now my face is burning in pain beyond the norm and is bright red and getting swollen. I think I'm having an allergic reaction.... |
Oh no! that is my biggest fear... I'm trying to think what would be the best approach to deal with that. If it's a rash you may want to take some benedryl or something to offset any allergic reaction. If it's just a skin reaction, laying a cool wet cloth on your face may sooth it
Keep me posted how you make out with it, I hope your face clears soon...
