Pretty soon: How frustrating when a product you use to soothe your skin ends up irritating it! Unfortunately there are a few individuals such as yourself who are sensitive to aloe vera. The most important thing is to stop the insult: stop using it as you have done. Try a moisturizing lotion, eg CeraVe. Watch for any signs of infection. Resolution: 2-4 days...maybe a little longer:)
