AIBU to ask for urgent skincare help. Getting married this weekend

Posting here for traffic, sorry. I've spent the evening sobbing and I need some help.

I've had a really strong, bad reaction to a new moisturiser this past weekend. My entire forehead has erupted in lumpy, sore acne after using a different product.

I'm devastated and I look like shit. There is no sugar coating it, I look awful. To top it off we're going on holiday next week and I wanted to go makeup free - that's just not possible now.

I'm not taking a photo of my face at the moment. But it looks like the picture attached. I'm not exaggerating - mine has even bigger lumps at my temples. I'm 33 for fucks sake, I've got grey hair, I've not had a breakout this bad since I was a teenager.

AIBU to ask what I should be doing to get my forehead not lumpy? Off colour but flat I can cope with, but you can't conceal lumps. Please help me!

Sorry that was to specialsubject and her sneery post about sun beds.

Holly - lots of PP’s have offered really great tips and advice but it’s nit a good idea to treat such a severe reaction until you know exactly what it is. OP did the right thing going to a derma and getting professional advice and the great news is her skin’s already better.

Airbase HD Airbrush make-up.
It is silicone based and doesn’t enter your pores. It is light, waterproof and has the ability to cover tattoos.
It’s like being airbrushed in the flesh.

I suffered with horrendous acne and I can tell you one thing cleared my skin, it was quite noticeably clearer within one week. La Roche Posey effaclar face wash (acne prone, sensitive face wash) and la Roche Posey serozinc spray. It's anti fungal and helps clear blemishes. You just spray it over your face in a list mist. These two products are part of the sensitive range and do not tighten or devout your face.

Good luck for your wedding!

UV treatment stick? And some green concealer to help with the the redness. Some tea tree oil will help not diluted. Just make sure to moisturise as well .
