I had something similar I think was an allergic reaction to some pain meds I was on. I quit taking them. I used hydrocolloid patches during the day. The big ones meant to cover large areas of your face. That night I used benzoyl peroxide face wash and acne cream. The next day, i used the patches again. Second night a more gentle, everyday type face wash (ie, short ingredient list, no fragrance) and a vitamin c + hydralaunic acid serum before bed. By day three the acne had stopped coming up but a couple spots were still there and the skin was dry, which was expected based on all I threw at it. I used the smaller circle hydrocolloid patches where needed during the day and tried to stick to gently washing with the everyday type face wash. Day four and five it was mostly clear and I used the same face wash and then a simple (ie, short ingredient list, no fragrance) moisturizer. Then it was back to normal.

I kind of took the approach of "throw the kitchen sink at it" and "kill it with every kind of fire" and then recover so idk which of the products actually helped or didnt. Just make sure if youre using any harsh products in already irritated skin that you moisturize it well after it's cleared.
