I have a burn from rubbing my face too hard. Will it go away?

I started using Retin A 0.025%. Last night the side of my face was very itchy and I rubbed it too hard. I know the redness and overall itching is for a few weeks (started this last week). I just washed my face and applied more Retin A. Will it go away?
