How to remove the scars left by water beans

Will chickenpox scars remain?

Chickenpox generally does not leave scars. However, if you do not pay attention to keeping the skin clean and repeatedly scratch the ulcers, it is easy to cause secondary bacterial infection and even gangrene, which will leave scars after healing. Because the lesions of simple varicella are very shallow and do not reach the dermis, if combined with bacterial infection, they will damage downwards and cause scar formation.

In addition, there are several special types of chickenpox in clinical practice that should be paid attention to.

1. Chickenpox in adults

Symptoms are more severe in children. The prodromal period is long, with high fever, severe systemic symptoms, more numerous rashes, and more itching.

2. Neonatal varicella

The infection is usually transmitted from the mother during childbirth. Symptoms are generally mild, but systemic damage and death may also occur.

3. Bullous varicella

Only seen in children under 2 years old. Bullae of 2 to 7 cm in size occur in batches and form erosive surfaces after rupture, but they heal quickly.

4. Hemorrhagic varicella

The contents of the blisters are bloody, and there is high fever and severe systemic symptoms. It is common in patients with malnutrition, malignant lymphoma, leukemia, etc. who are treated with immunosuppressants and corticosteroids.

Although the above special types are rare, once they occur, care should be strengthened to prevent secondary infection. Otherwise, it will not only leave scars, but also cause serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, myocarditis, nephritis, etc.

How to treat chickenpox without scarring

Chickenpox is a common infectious disease in children and occasionally in adults. It is caused by infection with the varicella-zoster virus.

Its clinical manifestations include prodromal symptoms such as fever, headache, and general fatigue. Rash appears within 24 hours of onset. The lesions initially appear as scattered red macules or small papules, which quickly turn into blisters the size of rice grains to mung beans. The rash often appears one after another and can occur anywhere on the body. If not treated actively, long-lasting scars may be left behind.

I would like to recommend a relatively simple and effective treatment method to everyone. The details are as follows:

First of all, you can use acyclovir, which is cheap and very effective. It is more effective when combined with cimetidine and dipyridamole! If your body's resistance is poor, you need to use immune enhancers such as interferon, thymosin, etc. early.

Early administration of antihistamines such as cyproheptadine and topical calamine lotion to prevent scratching and secondary infection is a simple and easy way to prevent scar formation!

Can chickenpox scars be repaired?

1 Don't worry. With the development of medicine, your scars can be repaired. You can go to a professional hospital or plastic surgery hospital for surgery to remove your scars, and your skin can return to normal after the surgery. Chicken pox scars can be removed using laser. Lasers are currently the most effective.

2 The scars left by chickenpox and smallpox can be repaired, so that your skin can be restored to its original healthy state. Hypertrophic scars with a larger area are not suitable for radiotherapy and local drug treatment. Surgery is needed in combination with other methods to improve the condition.
