Topical Steroid Crea: I would obviously stop the honey and cinnamon. Piriton is a topical anti-histamine but you may want to also cosnider use of a topical steroid such as 1% Hydrocortisone which is the maximal over the counter strength available in the usa (i note piriton is available in the uk and I am not familar with their regulations or formualtions.) if you see no response or worsening within 3-5 days, seek md.

Acne scars: I have used honey for wound healing, but never for scar treatment, particularly in acne-prone skin. I would advise seeing a plastic surgeon who also does skin care, or seeing a dermatologist. Meanwhile, stop using the honey, cinnamon, an piriton. Use a good medical-grade sunscreen, then get skin care recommendations from someone who can see you in person.
