Hi Yato!
Welcome! I'm a little late to the party but hey, there's cookies somewhere if you get the munchies.. i think.. but then someone keeps eating them.....
I would definitely ask to see a dermatologist first and foremost, reason being that there's only so much your usual doctor can do and give you. In my experience your usual family doctor can only give you creams and one or two other things which are ok but I've found they usually dont do much except leave greasy marks on everything which is annoying as hell.
As others have suggested coconut oil is a pretty decent thing to use as well, although you do end up smelling like a coconut, i'd recommend using it before bed then wash it off before you go out, unless you really dont mind it. Dont slap it on or it'll go in your eyes and that stuff stings like a son of a... been there done that. But if you do just run a sink of hot water (or as hot as you can stand it) and wash your face where your eyes are that should help get it out.
One thing i would also suggest is to educate your parents, give them an idea of how you feel, let them read some of these replies so they have an idea what they need to do to help you. I'm not a parent but once i explained to my parents whats going on it helped them understand what the problem is and how they can help even if its just someone to talk to that can help a bunch as well.
