Hello dear. It's not an allergy.
It's hormonal acne and needs proper treatment with prescription medication.

Hello
Though aloe vera is considered as having any anti acne and healing properties but we do need to see in what form is it available. Face wash with preservatives and harsh chemicals can actually worsen the situation.
You have developed an allergy from facewash which can be control through medication
