    Just keep it clean with a splash of hydrogen peroxide every once in awhile. Just let it evaporate and treat it with nothing else. If it stings, know that it will go away on its own in a couple of minutes.

    Generally you'll notice marked improvement over a few days of repeated treatments. Another option is to treat it with a good quality coconut or emu oil, but try the above first.
