Disgustingly awful acne flare up, please help

(Just as a forenote my skin isn't oily I had just gotten out of the shower and put aloe on when these pictures were taken)

I normally have moderate acne here and there and have struggled with it my entire life, but last Friday, my acne flared up to a point I've never seen it get to, and it's extremely painful and red. I think it's because of a Biore charcoal soap that I had just began using as it was recommended to me by a friend, as that's the only thing I changed in my routine. My skin has been like this for 7 days now and I can't even begin to describe how disgusting I feel, I'm so embarrassed and I don't even want to go to school because my skin looks so awful. Of course I've been covering it up with makeup but even the makeup does a poor job due to how red it is. I've tried aloe (didn't work) and I'm trying extra virgin cold pressed olive oil tonight as I heard it works wonders, but does anyone else have any suggestions?? 😞😞
