I always leave room in the budget for new art. Last year, I picked up a really cool piece from Brian Paul. I saw it and it reminded me of my mom who passed three days after Pagoda. 🙂
Three weeks is still early in the healing process. I would continue with the lotion (non greasy, unscented), but once a day should be plenty. And make sure you use sunscreen if it's exposed to sunlight. The 'clumpy' spots look like they have heavier saturation and they will likely take longer to settle than the line work.
