Reddish Spot After Using Acne Cream. How To Reduce Redness?

I was using an acne cream which was prescribed by my dermatologist. It gives a stinging sensation when i apply it on my skin,but recently,it leaves a reddish spot around my acne which is very embarrassing. This acne cream is a stronger dose because initially i was applying a gel form of acne treatment. How to reduce the redness of my acne spots?
