I know you said that you tried aloe and it made it worse, but have you tried any sunburn lotions? They often have lidocaine too, which would give an immediately "cooling" and "numbing" feeling to the area. :) That's what I used when I had a bad reaction to Proactiv! Also, you may want to try a little hydrocortisone cream... I thought it was just for itching, but turns out that they use it for any sort of skin inflamation too. I hope you feel better soon! :angel: Take care!
