Chicken Pox Scars

[iliana189]

Hello all,
I'm 19 years old and I went through chicken pox at the age of three. One time i woke up during the night and started scratching my face but when my mother realised i what was going on it is was a bit too late. As a result, i now have 2 small round scars on my face which are not scary, disgusting or anything it's just that i really really wanna get rid of them. Is there a cream or a treatment from dermatologist or maybe a cosmetic surgery i can have to make the scars disappear or at least become less noticable? Also will chemical peeling help? Thank you very much in advance :)

Yes there are several treatments that can help you. There are laser techniques that can help and microdermabrasion. Without seeing how they look it is not possible to recommend a treatment. DO go to a good dermatologist rather than a beauty parlour. Beauty parlours, whilst good for general skin treatments and generally making you feel fantastic, are not highly trained enough to select the best treatment for u, and of course they have commercial considerations.

As remar recommended, consult a Dermatologist.

You can also post in the Dermatology and Beauty/Cosmetics Forums too.

Talking to a Dermatologist is a good idea. Depending on the scars the Dr may be able to give you some form of cream to make them look less visible. Also, using a laser on the scars may really help reduce their appearance too. Your Dr will let you know what your options are.  Remar
