See doctor: When it is that bad and on your face you often need oral steroids. Until you get to the doctor use 1% Hydrocortisone cream over the counter on your face.

See doctor: If the problem is a mild one, time will heal it. If the problem is severe, you will need to see a doctor who may prescribe some Prednisone pills or a cortisone injection for you. In the meanwhile, try apply some otc Hydrocortisone cream 3 to 4 times daily.
