Post Laser 1 month, skin turned into leather texture, not healing. Any suggestions?

Debra Kroboth
4 weeks post laser resurfacing around mouth, feels and looks like leather, very bad texture, deep crevices. Have always had smooth soft skin, laser was for lip lines. Followed directions to a T. Skin gets flakey when soaking with wash cloth as directed by Dr. . When skin dries it hardens. Post moisturizer from Dr. office does nothing, only olive oil softens it temporarily. Never had a skin problem in my life. I'm 64. Very upsetting.
