Glad you found my experience helpful. I can not emphasize enough the need for sterile cleaning on a regular basis for the first week. I cleaned with sterile hospital gauze sponges every 2-3 hours. And dried my face with sterile softer gauze never using household linens. This was followed by a thick layer of Aquaphor. Yes, it's painful and yes, it's necessary to prevent infection. You will look like a glowing stop sign for a good week. Get past day 3 and you'll be fine.
