Here are a few ideas to treat the redness in your skin.

Put a cold compress on your red patches. Soak a washcloth in cool water and apply it to the red area. The coolness will draw the heat out of the area and soothe the irritation. Leave it on the acne for five to 10 minutes.

Rub hydrocortisone cream on the area. Hydrocortisone cream calms irritated skin, thereby alleviating redness in the area. Apply a thin layer once daily.

Squeeze two to three drops of eye drops onto your skin. As eye drops are traditionally used to clear red eyes, they can have a similar effect on your red and irritated skin. Eye drops contain anti-inflammatory agents that can reduce swelling. As the swelling decreases, the redness will subside as well. Reapply eye drops every few hours as needed.

Dip a cotton ball in milk and swipe it over your skin. Milk contains lactic acid which helps to regenerate skin cells and reduce redness. In addition, the protein in milk soothes the skin, alleviating redness and irritation.

Apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel to your skin. Opt for pure aloe vera gel that hasn't been treated with irritating fragrances or dyes. For a more soothing option, chill the aloe vera gel in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before applying.

Drink lots of water. In order for your skin to heal properly, you must be hydrated. Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily. The water will help to flush the redness out of your skin.
