Deep ablative CO2 laser resurfacing on face and neck 10 days ago. How can I stop this misery?

just4looks
This has been the most excruciating painful thing I've ever experienced. I still have some oozing and pain on my neck with only a couple itchy spots. My face itches so severely I want to scratch it off. I'm taking benadryl and also using aquaphor and Cetaphil moisturizer on my face. Per my dr I'm still using neosporin with pain control on my neck until the oozing stops. My face still has minimal swelling and angry redness. And the texture is horrible like an orange peel and horrible acne.
