Brief Answer:
Explained.

Detailed Answer:
Okay.
I think that you already have an acne prone skin, am I right ?
You have had an allergy to some kind of product used in the parlour.
That has led to allergic rashes plus flaring up of the acne lesions.
Where are you staying right now, and how is the weather there ?
Also do you have oily skin or dry skin ?
If you let me know, I can suggest a few tips for the coming days till the rashes clear off.

Brief Answer:
Some tips for you.

Detailed Answer:
Okay, you can do the following now -
1. Avoid using any cosmetic product on your face - no soap, face wash, cleanser, gel, nothing - no artificial cosmetic product.
2. For cleaning, use ubtan ( a preparation made by mixing XXXXXXX water and besan ) during bath.
3. For moisturization, just use a bit of milk with some malai in it, that too you can avoid till the rashes clear as your skin it quite oily. Alternatively you can use Sebamed moisturizer and cleanser ONLY, that is the best brand.
4. Avoid visits to new / unknown / untested parlours, as acne prone skin breaks out frequently.
5. If it is itching too much, use Cetirizine tablet at night.
6. These rashes should clear out in a week's time at the most.
Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
Regular exercise also is a must.
Yoga and meditation will de stress your mind and body , leading to glowing complexion.
Take care.
