Skin infection after Skinpen, what can I do?

Bonnieole
I had a skinpen treatment on Thursday night. Friday I had a bit of swelling and redness but not much. Saturday I had more redness and swelling and a burning tingling sensation in my skin. I had a hard time sleeping with the tingling, stinging, burning sensation going on and this morning (Sunday it is even worse). I tried Benadryl but it made no difference.
