Help - 2 days to wedding and breaking out everywhere

I've been dealing with hormonal acne after coming off the pill for a long time. Tretinoin helped a bit but now I'm pregnant I have been using an LED mask instead. However the last week leading up to my wedding I have been so stressed due to a) last minute house move (literally the day after the wedding) b) cat has been ill c) wondering if my newly adjusted wedding dress will fit over my rapidly increasing bump and d) general wedding stress.

One side of my face is completely broken out and my chest is following (my dress has a deep v). There are a large cluster of small spots with 2 massive under the skin ones in the middle of my cheek and 3 jawline ones that protrude horribly. No amount of makeup will cover these. And as I've tried to put concealer on the chest ones and failed, I'm concerned the makeup artist I've hired won't be able to cover them with ordinary makeup.

I am so desperate I am looking up hydrocortisone injections, but fiance is not keen about me getting anything injected.

I know the advice is 'stop stressing' but I am trying. It is easier said than done and this is really short notice. I know there are more important things but I'm feeling shit about potentially not fitting into my dress on top of having plague skin. I'm not sure why I'm even posting this other than in the vain hope anyone has some miracle 24-48 hour treatment. I am going to try and ice my face later tonight, at the very least...

I think a dermatologist injecting something is probably your best bet, but you'll need to do it asap. Any home remedies you try, might, or might not, work in time.

Sudocreme

And lots of water. They are easier to cover when hydrated
