You are:
Disappointment
My infix will give you a name
To appoint someone as leader means to name him or grant him the name "leader"
My suffix will help you with pain
Ointment as in medicine
My prefix will make you frown
Dissapointing someone will make them frown (or at least sad)
My whole will let you down
Dissapointment will let you down, that's what it means

$\begingroup$ The prefix line isn't quite right, but other than that, you got it! $\endgroup$– samm82Commented Jan 16, 2021 at 17:11

$\begingroup$ Somehow I misread your prefix clue as rot13(qvfnccbvagzrag vafgrnq bs qvfnccbvagvat). My original intent for the prefix line was rot13(qvf, nf trggvat qvffrq pna znxr lbh sebja), but yours also works, so have a check! $\endgroup$– samm82Commented Jan 16, 2021 at 19:36
