13 days post op CO2 laser, should I be concerned or is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Asked By:amandazzle in Fort Collins, CO

I got a CO2 laser treatment done 13 days ago. Initially, my skin was smooth but red. However, the skin on my cheeks has become rough and bumpy. It is only visible when up close, but each little "dot" before has turned into a tiny raised bump. Similar to a rash, but not itchy or red. In addition, my nose just peels and flakes continually. I assume that my skin is healing and might just be very dry. Should I be concerned or is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Is this normal?
