What cream or lotion to use for massages after BBL with burns/peeling skin?

I am 3 weeks post op bbl. I have only gotten 5 massages since my procedure. After I realized I have a open burn or something of the sort on my back, since then I've been afraid of getting an infection if I apply any kind of cream over my open wound.
