This post is an update regarding my healing process of the last 16 days since the I had the laser treatment done.  
For the first two weeks I kept a bandaid on the scab 24/7 for moisture control and at night for extra precaution as I was afraid of it drying out and coming off too early.  
It’s hard to tell based on the pictures but especially on day 1, right after the treatment, the centre looked quite indented and deep compared to the outer part. That’s why I always had a feeling that the edges of the scab are healing better and quicker. On day 9 I woke up and the edges were sticking to my bandaid while the centre remained. Even though my dermatologist told me that I can shower from day 1, I always tried to keep water away from the scab as good as possible as I did not wanted to soak it. The challenge was to still clean it somehow and not letting it get infected. I used some Qtips with warm water to gently clean around it and it worked very well. I’ve seen a tiny bit of healing fluid here and there but no proper pus coming from it.  
To touch the scab as little as possible I was applying a thin layer of Bepanthen Creme (the regular, not the antiseptic one) on the bandaids. Unfortunately, due to the location and the unavoidable movement of my mouth, I was struggling to get the bandaids to stick. My option were limited as the round ones were a tiny bit too small and the regular 6cm e too long - I ended up using 4cm „Injektionspflaster“ from Hansaplast.  
 Now on day 16 I wanted to carefully squeeze some of the creme underneath the edges of the scab, as they started to lift again slowly, when the scab just started to move and got stuck to the creme on the Qtip.  
Now my plan is to give the skin one more day with the Bepanthen Creme and then start with some silicone scar gel and sun screen. Did some research and decided to use the Dermatix Ultra silicone gel and La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 50+

Am planning on doing another update with weekly pics in around 2 months (unless I’ll already be more than happy with the results before then)
