Cream: Try eucerin calm or cetaphil and make sure you are washing with something very gentle like cetaphil wash so it doe not get more irritated. Don't forget to moisturize !

Cleanse: Start by cleansing your face with a mild soap and water. Then apply a basic lubricant such as lubriderm. Consult with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon before trying other treatments.
