My derm asked me to use a mix of Vaseline, bacitracin, and hydrocortisone on my face until all redness and swelling and healing is accomplished.
I am also using some of the advice on this page:

Including many habits that I do anyway, including multi-vitamins, lots of water and taking a body builders mix known as "Muscle Milk" which meets a lot of those nutritional requirements on that page.
I hate to compare myself against others but I believe that I am healing at a much faster rate that some of the photo blogs that are on the web. I expect to be completely healed in about a week after finishing treatment.
There are a few reasons for this.
1. I always kept the skin moist during the treatment and didn't suffer the thick skin cracking and bleeding that others suffer.
2. Scrubbing the skin with a washcloth allowed a new layer to be exposed to the medicine more often. Think of scabs as being shields against the topical medicine. It makes sense to get them out of the way. Soaking in a bath and gently abrading them off is relatively painless. You will find an optimum amount of force to remove what is removable and allow what should stay to stay.
3. Exercise that increases bloodflow. Healing nutrients are carried to the skin faster when metabolism is increased. Even broken bones heal faster in a stationary leg when the other leg is exercised.
This is something I learned from a study conducted at the Olympic training center.
I think it's going well.
