I have been using raw honey as a facial mask every day and it really helps. There was a study that confirmed that raw honey could clear up dermatitis when used every day for two hours for two weeks. I am currently using it 20 minutes every day. I used it for two hours for three days when I first started and it got rid of a lot of the flakes/rash. Raw honey is acidic so it can cause a bit of redness and irritation on its own, you have to trust that the irritation it causes is not part of the infection currently on your face, its starts to get better after a week.
Plus it makes my skin so very smooth, like a skin peel would. HTH
