my daughter is 19 months old and she finished chicken pox about 3 weeks ago
however she still has 3 red marks on her faceFace pain and a few more on torso and back
i am worried they will stay unless i do something now
what would you suggest
Hello,
You can use calamine lotion on the red marks also.At such a young age ,it is not advisable to use other creams for hyperpigmentation or chicken pox scars.
I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your daughter is doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Chicken pox is a viral infection and the scars take time to go.I would suggest that you just apply calamine lotion on the rashes.Rest all medicines for hyperpigmentation cannot be used in babies.
I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
however, isnt calamine for whe she was still scrtching her spots
right now all spots are gone.
she doesnt scratch anything. What's left are the red mack in the skin
