Bumps and rough skin after Fraxel Laser

I had bumps and rough skin after Fraxel Laser. Is there a chance they will soften or diminish? Is there anything I can do to help it?

I've been reading horror stories that in 1-3 years, I could experience infections and discoloration on my face. Is this true?

Read my review "Could be badly scarred. This is serious."
