Best after-treatment for C02 laser?

poorbunny888
I find some articles that it's best not to let scab to form. I tend to get scars if there're scabs formed though the scabs would fall off naturally which normally happen during shower time. Should I apply Vaseline straight after 3 days post CO2 laser? or the antibiotic cream? I am prescribed Mupicor Ointment with 2% Mupirocin. Should I cover the wound until it's completely healed? & if there's any scab formed, until the scab falls off? The CO2 laser is for flat nevus removal.
