Brief Answer:
So it is allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
It seems that you got an allergic reaction. This can be treated with anti histamines with or with out steroids for a few days.
For such cases, I usually give antihistamines like pheniramine maleate 25 mg at bed time for 5-7 days. Usually this will take care of the condition. If not, we may need oral steroids.
Steroidal medications are not to be used over the counter. Kindly see your doctor for prescription.
Meanwhile, you can continue calamine application if there is itching. Also, it is better to avoid further exposure to the Glyco acid 10%, as further reactions are likely to be more stronger.
If this does not work, then please see a dermatologist. He will be able to examine you and suggest better.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.

I have a party to attend in couple of days I hope this helps me. I have one more doubt can I apply Bio oil as well.
Brief Answer:
I am not sure of bio oil
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Bio oil is not an FDA approved drug. It belongs to natural products; and as I am not familiar with its contents, it is difficult for me to comment.
In my opinion, the anti allergic medicines I already mentioned, along with soothing agents like calamine lotion will be enough for you.
Hope you got it.
Thank you.
