I did my second IPL treatment for acne and it looks like the burn is so bad. I have an open wound after two days. (Photos)

How do I deal with it? Can i still use hydrocortisone in an open wound? Or can I use an ointment in an open wound? If I can, what would be the suggested brand. The spa is closed on weekends so I can't seem for an advice from them.
