Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
This is still early postoperative period and few more weeks are required to achieve full tissue strength. However, you can apply silicone based ointments and aloe vera cream for pain and skin healing. And take regular oral painkillers. If there is increasing pain, you should see doctor who did surgery since it may indicate some abnoramlities.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
