I used aloe vera on my face, and now it's burning, with rashes and redness appearing. Its been two days, and its still there. What can I do to get rid of this quickly and recover?

To quickly recover from the adverse reaction to aloe vera, try these remedies: immediately wash your face with cold water and a mild soap, apply a cool, wet compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce burning and redness, use a topical hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to calm the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and apply a soothing moisturizer, like coconut oil or aloe vera-free lotion, to help calm the skin; for faster recover
