How can I get the post CO2 Laser redness to go away?

62 yr old. Recovering from full face lift eye and eyebrow lift. Had one Co2 laser treatment done a month ago. Peeled normally, but the redness didn't go away. Iced, Aquaphor, vinegar baths. Sides of my face have marks where the laser went, lighter spots on my chin and a few areas where the skin rubbed then bled. Have areas where blood spot has dried but afraid to do anything to it except alcohol. Dr. prescribed a steroid cream, which took redness away some. Looked like I went through a car windshield.
