I'm a guy in my mid-20's and I had heard that rubbing alcohol works very well in clearing up people's faces, so I decided to give it a try. It does seem to work well with pimples but, the problem I've had, is that it has irritated my skin immensely after only one use. I have discontinued using it but the damage has already been done, as the area around my chin and mouth are very red and irritated.
Its been almost two weeks now and I just can't quite seem to make it go away. Originally, I had a lot of peeling but that has mostly subsided at this point. It is still a bit dry and I put lotion on it to help that but nothing seems to help with the redness (I've tried Nvidia lotion, Aloe-based sunburn products, caladryl, benadryl cream). Has anyone had a problem like this before? Short of going to the doctor, do you have any advice? I was trying to avoid going to the doctor, as I felt like it would probably take a couple of weeks just to get an appointment and cost me quite a bit.
