How do I fix a chemical burn on my face?

Little_Queen
I'm thirteen years old and I have acne problems. My regular doctor prescribed a medicine for my acne, tretinoin cream 0.1%, and I began using that. About a week before he prescribed the medication, I began using Clearasil Ultra face wash. I continued using the clearasil when I began using the tretinoin cream. Two days of using the cream, my face gained more acne, burned, and began to peel. I stopped using both, but my face still burns and now it feels like leather.
