As long as it's closed up tight- and at 5 weeks it definitely should be- you can and should be putting something on it daily. It will help it feel better but also make it fade faster. Just use something natural, without dyes or chemicals. I have vitamin e ointment or sometimes use plain aloe (100%, not the green stuff).
