Limit washing skin to no more than twice a day. Don’t scrub. Use gentle cleansers for sensitive skin. Three useful ingredients in topical over-the-counter products are salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and adapalene. A fragrance-free moisturizer applied on top of the topical medication can reduce the irritation.
