Asked By:Lost in my Face in Kansas City, MO

As you can see my face is extremely red, burning but it's dry and peeling at the same time. Anything that I use on my face sends it into a burning rage. After I wash my face there is a puss like substance that comes out of my poor's. Within 45 mins to an hour later the flaking begins. Can someone please help me with this?
