Any Suggestion For Skin On Foot/ankle Peeling In Sheets After Ankle Surgery?

A car ran over my foot a month ago -- ankle surgery and I've been in a plaster, which was just removed. I cannot put weight on it for another 2 weeks. My two immediate questions are -- the skin on the foot and ankle is peeling in sheets -- should I do anything about it? Oil? Water? Ignore it?
And the surgeon said just begin putting weight on in 2 weeks very very gradually. He said there was no need formal physical therapy. What do you think?
