Could anyone knows some skin specialist, please help me this.

Great Appreciate your help.

The spot marks are part of the healing process and quite normal. They may take up to six months to disappear. You can put on some Vitamin E cream which prevents scarring, if you are concerned. Otherwise just let nature do its work.


Bad scarring usually occurs when the scabs are scratched and get infected - just like any other scar. If she has bad scarring when she is older, you can consider laser treatments. But as I said nature is still healing her skin so this kind of treatment - if necessary - is a long way off.


BTW, I got chickenpox as a teenager and was mortified about scars, but I don't have a single one.

had them when i was six...no scarring except for this unfortunate spot on the left side of my nose but this is because i gave it a really good scratch then.

If the marks are red and inflamed, they could have some infection in which case they are more likely to scar. I would recommend an antibiotic cream such as neosporin, but you will have to go to a doctor in order to get it, as this is sold "prescription only" in Hong Kong. My middle daughter was with her grandmother when she had chicken pox. When I got her at the end of the week, she had some red, infected marks which the grandmother had just been treating with salve. I put antibiotic ointment on them immediately and it cleared up the infection, but the very worst one did leave a scar on her face. (It did fade over time and is barely noticeable) I sure do wish granny had taken her to the doctor rather than just taking it for granted that there was nothing to be done!
