Hello
It seems from the history that your eyes were exposed to fumes. Just wash your eyes thoroughly to remove any ash particles present. If there is redness or diminution of vision which indicate eye injury need to consult your doctor. Otherwise no need to worry and you can done antibiotic eye drops to prevent secondary infection.
For face you can continue same ointment.
Thank you
