After 2-3 min my face started to burn so I washed it immediately...I applied ice cubes as well as aloe vera juice... Today both side of my cheeks have become slightly red and irritated...how to treat it??? Can it cause more serious issue???

Its a Allergic contact dermatitis caused due to the lemon juice application. It will require medication depending on the spread and intensity of the allergy. If left unattended it can get progressive and further aggravate. Corroborate with picture and consult a Dermatologist for the same.
