How do you all manage skin itching after laser hair removal?

Hello, a few days ago, I finally mustered up the courage to get my first session of laser hair removal on my calves! The procedure itself was bearable, but the problem arose afterward. It has been about three days, and the treated area occasionally itches intensely, and small, millet-like blemishes are popping up. The clinic advised me to moisturize well because it could be due to dryness, but even applying body lotion I have at home doesn't easily alleviate the itching.

Has anyone with laser hair removal experience the itching I'm feeling? Would applying aloe vera gel help, or should I buy an ointment from a pharmacy? The treated area is sensitive, so I'm a bit hesitant to apply just anything. Please share any soothing tips or recommendations for gentle moisturizers you've had! I'll be waiting for your comments.
