Hello dear user, thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic and sharing your concerns, I recommend you wash the area with enough water before apply the treatment, do not use a soap, body wash or other chemicals products then you can apply triple ointment or Neosporin OTC 2-3 times a day about 5 days or until the symptoms improve.
