Using Tolak Cream

I am currently on Day 14 of using Tolak on my whole face and have only been able to cope by using .5% Cortisone cream when my face stings so much. It is very red especially around my nose grooves and upper lip. It is affecting my mental health not only the way I look but the lack of good sleep, no matter what I do. It feels as tight as a drum and even application if the cortisone cream or solosite gel, stings. There is some light peeling happening on my nose and chin. All the other lesions on my face are not painful just red and starting to dry up. Are the lesions meant to get blistered or raised? A few snall ones seen to have already formed scabs. The ‘mask’ area is however extremely red and tender. The thought of putting the cream on this area again tonight is dustressing to say the least. Any help/ ideas? Am I meant to let it dry out of keep mosturised?
