The best treatment is to not put on anything you buy OTC. But a wonderful quick natural soothing healer is to massage with olive oil - the ones you buy at a supermarket - it quickly absorbs into skin and it doesn't leave skin oily. You do not need to wash off but simply apply some water and pat dry with tissues. You can expect results in a day or two.. This treatment is also a permanent cure for an array of skin conditions.
