Vaseline: The best treatment is Vaseline petroleum jelly applied multiple times per day, to keep the area from drying out. If you notice any evidence of secondary bacterial infection, such as yellow crusting, apply bacitracin or polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) ointment. In the future, consider threading for facial hair removal to avoid burns to the skin.
