Are these red streaks and red patches normal 18 days post CO2 laser? (Photo)

Asked By:11flowers in New York, NY

I'm very concerned about my face. The left side is OK, but the right side has red blotches and streaks and looks terrible. What's the chance of this fading? My doctor says it will but I have the feeling he's brushing me off. Using triamcinolone acetonide ointment 0.1% 3 times per day, along with cetaphil cleanser. How concerned should I be about these marks being permanent, and should I be using something else to get rid of these streaks and blotches?
