Brushed off scabs/scales (due to non-peeling) using a dry razor 5 days post CO2 laser. Is this alright?

Asked By:Anna6061 in Lahore, PK

Had CO2 laser on Monday (face). On Sunday I assisted the scaliness (due to two events to attend and no peeling) with slight brushing using a dry razor, and some scaby particles came off. The minute scabs were still there just the top scaly layer got off and the areas smoothed out to apply makeup. No cuts, no bleeding, only less scabbiness. Want to know if what I did was okay and won't create any trouble in betterment of skin? Been following prescribed ointment, moisturizer and sunblock routine.
