Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of redness on the cheeks after applying Licorice acid which seems to be due to allergic reaction, sudden reaction from allergens, due to poor immunity of body and instant response of body to certain stimulus. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with intake of antihistamine medication such as benadryl. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid touching or pricking skin with any sharp object. Drink plenty of water. You can take Allegra as well and start application of clindamycin gel on these areas. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after complete examination. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. You should avoid excessive exposure to sunlight.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
