Suggest Treatment For Chicken Pox Marks On The Face
Chicken pox happened to me 2.5 months ago. I have 7-8 chicken pox scars on my face. There are also brownish spots on my body which are getting lighter gradually. I did not take any medicines during the infection. One month after the infection, realising the scars on face, I applied Hexalik gel there once a day (after consulting doctor). After two weeks of that, I started applying hexalik gel twice or thrice a day and applied Opexa Gel in the night. Now I m applying Hexalik Silicone gel twice a day and opexa gel in night. I wanted to know, when are they expected to heal. Also do I need to apply anything on brown light spots on my body.

Hi,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you had chicken pox marks on the face which is mainly after viral infection and poor immunity of body. You are already taking too much of medication so complete that course only as per prescription. Along with that apply topically calamine lotion will heal up the rashes. Chicken pox lesions don't leave scar as such until and unless you scratch them. Eat green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet. Apply coconut oil as well. Don't scratch lesion with nail as it will cause bacterial infection there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
