Avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area. - Moisturize: Apply recommended creams and ointments to keep the skin hydrated. - Cool Compresses: Use cool compresses to relieve discomfort and reduce inflammation. - Consult Healthcare Providers: Always follow the advice of your healthcare team regarding skincare products and treatments.
