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 started to see it go away in many places and just thought that the skin around my eyes is healing slower. I've been reading horror stories that in 1-3 years, I could experience infections and discoloration on my face. Is this true?
