Hello,
Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area.Also exfoliate the skin once or twice weekly with a mild exfoliating scrub.

If still the symptoms persist then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Warm regards.
