Chicken Pox Marks

by gaby509, Oct 17, 2008 01:21PM
I got the chicken pox when i was 6 months old, and the marks on my face have never gone away. I am 15 years old now. The marks are darker than my skin color and indent in my skin. How do i get rid of these!

Hello,

What you are saying sounds like pock marks of chicken pox. There are many treatments available for scarring depending on the persons requirements and suitability.

The treatment options range from local applications, superficial procedures such as microdermabrasion to lasers and cosmetic surgery.Pls note that local application of creams like hydroquinone(demelanising agent)is only a temporary relief and it is not without side effects like itching or burning of the skin.

In my opinion, best would be to talk to your doctor and then decide which treatment works best for you.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted if you have any additional queries.
