Redness and Bumps After CO2 Laser

I had CO2 Laser around my mouth 11 days ago, and it's still beefy red! I also have numerous bumps like acne from the Aquaphor I was told to put on it. Can you suggest anything to speed up the healing process that won't make me break out? I have to return to work very soon and I'm afraid I'll still be scary-looking! Help!
