Itchy skin after Fraxel laser

Hi Allie: Hope you are doing well. I'm going to see the dr today as i never made it to work, I was up all night with SEVERE itching, did not have any Benadryl, I should have gone to an all night store. I also had Fraxel done on my hands and that is where the itching was the most intense but also on my forhead and neck. I did have some oatmeal juice which did help. I had seen the post about the oatmeal and it definetly helped the redness on my face. At first I was using vinegar and water then on to cetaphil which also turned my face brilliant red. Stopped that and just used saline (per dr) now I'm just using glycerine soap and that feels very good. I am still using the aquaphor at night and Skin Ceuticals epidermal repair. I still have flaking and almost crusting on my chin and upper lip which were treated more aggressively. Also woke up to an L shaped scar like mark above my lip whcih is another reason i am seeing dr today- but all in all the redness is getting better-very steaky looking. One other note - today I put on suncreen which i got at Dr's office Solar Protection Formula SPF 65 and it defintely toned down the redness. I am also using an anti-redness steroid cream 3 x day called Desonide which I saw on a post here and dr prescribed for me. i've also seen anti-redness cream Biafin mentioned a few times on this post will let you know what dr says today be well cmc
