Face Is Full Of Blisters Due To Chicken Pox And Acne. Blisters Getting Hard Is A Sign Of Forming Dark Scar?

Hi, I have acne problems and is 16. I am having chickenpox now and my face is full of blisters. I seems like my face is worst than any other areas. Furthermore, I didn't now scratch it, but why there there dried yellow pus forming? And the blisters are starting to harden. Is this a sign of forming dark scars?

Hi. Thanks for posting at HCM

Chicken pox lesions are clear fluid filled vesicles, however when they start to dry up they become turbid and hard and finally form scabs OR sometimes they can get secondarily infected with bacteria and form pus.

Scaring does'nt usually occur unless they are picked/manipulated OR they get secondarily infected.

I would advice that you visit a dermatologist who might want to put you on oral antivirals and antibacterials(oral+topical), if their is secondary bacterial infection

take care
regards
