I had a CO2 Fractional done on my upper lips for deep lines. How long do I keep using Aquaphor after the peeling is done?

Hi On the second day I started peeling a lot.. The skin under is really red. I only wash it at night and Im re-applying Aquaphor. but it stays then it melts almost (skin is hot) and turns into a bit of crusty.. I applied ice on the first night.. I think it made peel faster. should i use fucidin ongment before applying the Aquaphor? Is it normal that Im peeling that soon after treatment and liquid comes out..I dont think it’s puss ..??What about apple cider vinegar Thank you.
