Erase Post Chicken Pox Scars and Regain Your Facial Glow
About
A condition where black spots appear on the skin post-chicken pox as a result of scratching or scarring.
Post chicken pox scars occur due to scratching and damage of the blisters.
- Takes a few weeks to several months to fade or completely go away
- Two types: atrophic scarring and dark acne marks
- Results in feelings of low self-esteem and lack of confidence
- Removal of chicken pox scars depends on the skin's regenerative abilities and other factors
Post chicken pox scars result from scarring of the skin when chickenpox blisters in the skin get damaged and grow scar tissue. These scars tend to go away on their own or with medications, however, the time it takes depends on the skin's regenerative properties, mineral deficiencies, and other health factors.
Symptoms
Common symptoms include black spots, atrophic scarring, and inflammation caused by scratching.
