Hi.
As per your case history of chickenpox, my treatment advice is -
1. It is a self limiting viral infection. Don't worry.
2. Continue applying calamine lotion on affected skin.
3. Calamine lotion will only give soothing effect, it won't remove the black spots.
4. Black spots left by chickenpox lesions will gradually subside on their own.
Thanks.
