Periorficial dermatitis post Fraxel treatment?

This is difficult to answer without pictures and needs an in-person evaluation. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I combine all of our laser treatments with microneedling, PRP, and stem cells to improve your color, texture, and tone along with the healing process. Also at home LED would be very useful. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

if a patient has an underlying tendency to develop POD then Fraxel can trigger that. I would be careful before empirically treating it as POD without a visit to your doctors office to make sure its not herpetic. 

It is not perioral dermatitis. I would make sure the area is moisturized well with a bland moisturizer. It is hard to definitively say what is going on without a picture. Sometimes a topical steroid is useful. It can be related to the creams you are using as well.
