Hi. It is normal to have acne at your age, and there are many ways of controlling it until you are no longer prone to spots. Face masks are of limited use and may cause a reaction, as you've found. Use a bland cleanser and moisturiser until the reaction has gone away, I suggest Toleriane by La Roche-Posay.
See your doctor for an effective topical acne gel such as Differin. Oral antibiotics like oxytetracylcine will also help. If you are female, discuss going on an antiandrogen birth control pill, with your doctor, as acne is often hormonal. eloise x

Sorry couldn't tell if you were female from your question. I recommend either Yasmin or Dianette birth control pill to clear acne. Eloise x
