I use cold compress, advil, benedrayl, claritin to control itching, but it is still very red and itchy. By me itching and rubbing, is it prolonging these symtoms?

If you are miserable following a Fraxel Repair Laser Treatment, check back with your doctor for advice.
If you have concerns about the itch and the healing process, check back with the doctor who did the procedure. There are many options to help you heal more comfortably.
