What's the best way to treat damaged skin from squeezing blackheads?

sevenseas7
Although I realize that squeezing blackheads is tremendously bad for your skin, I have gotten in the habit of doing so for the past couple of months. I began squeezing blackheads on my nose, then chin and even my forehead. Now my skin is uber dry and even cracked in some areas (chin and nose mostly), and my forehead has significant damage in the form of red blotches (not protruding) on the surface. What is the best way to treat my damaged skin? Masks? Peels? Nothing seems to be working.
