Is It Safe To Put Calamine On Outbursts Of Pimples And Scabs On Face After Facial?

So I went to a lady that my moms known forever to do a facial. It was at a house which I was kind of scared because that s not an office which is sanitized. She s a dermatologist and she first put steam on me than this scrub she took off. She than started popping my pimples. I have never felt more pain in my life I almost cried. She than put this mask that almost burned my flesh off. I started to contart from pain and the woman didn t even try to help. She than removed it and put concealer?!!! I m no dermatologist but I m pretty sure makeup right after a facial isn t the best thing. That wasn t the worst part. When I woke up the next morning I had huge scabs all over my face!! I than noticed I started to get these pimples I haven t got since I started my acne which was big red hurtful pimples. I got more acne that I have for a while and I really nervous. Is this woman pulling a scam? Is the procedure she did right? I m very confused because after going through all that pain the least I wanted was more acne and scabs? She also told me to put calamine lotion which my mom forced me to put on? Is this safe???? I really need your help my mom wants me to go their again and I don t want to end up a crater face:(((

Welcome to HCM
I have read and understand your query
I hope this will be useful
Dear as per my knowledge of medicine i have never come through such procedure for treatment of acne and using calamine lotion on face is what i would highly and strongly forbid.Face is the most important part of the personality.You must not take any kind of risk against a blind procedure with no known results.Meet a authentic dermatologist asap before its too late.
I hope this would help you.you can reach me anytime with any other query
