What causes chickenpox scars?

Not only children but adults can also get chickenpox. I thought I would be completely healed after recovery, but ended up being left with a lot of scars. After consultation, I learned that not paying attention to hygiene is the most common reason, in addition to:

1. Chickenpox scars are caused by external damage to the human body. The balance of collagen fiber secretion in the body is disrupted, resulting in more collagen fiber synthesis and less degradation.

2. Failure to keep the skin at the chickenpox rash clean and hygienic, and repeated scratching of the chickenpox lesions, may lead to secondary bacterial infection after the chickenpox lesions rupture, and even chickenpox gangrene. Scars will appear after the chickenpox disease is cured. Click to read: How much does laser scar treatment cost? How effective is it?

3. The varicella zoster virus does not reach the dermis. If it is combined with bacterial infection, it will destroy it downwards and cause the formation of varicella scars.

Expert tips: For patients with scars, if the chickenpox scars cannot be removed in time, patients are prone to skin problems, especially those with scar-prone constitutions. Scars are very easy to form due to their own constitutions, and the accumulated toxins in the scar area cannot be effectively cleaned. The scars will gradually erode the surrounding skin, causing the scars to grow in patches. Some scars are difficult to heal, causing skin ulcers and many other problems.

How to Treat Chicken Pox Scars

The main cause of chickenpox scars is untimely treatment or unscientific care. If you pay attention to prevention, chickenpox scars will basically not appear. Experts say that if the depressed scar is dot-shaped and relatively small in size, the patient can be treated with skin grinding or scar excision technology. Although medical cosmetic technology is advanced nowadays, patients should not choose treatment methods blindly. They should choose appropriate treatment methods based on their own scar conditions. In order to ensure the effectiveness and safety of scar treatment, it is important to choose a regular hospital for treatment.
