What to do with chickenpox scars

Chickenpox is a common disease. What makes it different from other diseases is that chickenpox will leave scars. Once scars are left, patients will think of ways to remove them. As a result, the question of how to remove the scars left by chickenpox has become a matter of concern. Generally speaking, no matter what kind of disease it is, the recovery situation is determined by the condition and the patient's physical condition. If you want to remove scars, you still need to understand and verify the methods.

As long as the method can achieve the desired effect, it can be tried, but the premise is that these methods must be appropriate. Generally speaking, the symptoms of chickenpox still need to be determined based on one's physical condition because only in this way can you tell whether it will leave scars. Some people do not leave scars. So what should we do if there are scars left by chickenpox?

Use retinoic acid, kojic acid, salicylic acid and other preparations to lighten pigmentation. If it is a relatively shallow pit, the skin color will basically return to normal after a few months. But for obvious small pits, you must go to dermatology or cosmetic surgery for skin grinding. This surgery mainly involves grinding the superficial layer of the epidermis and dermal papillae to flatten the deep and obvious pits and achieve the treatment purpose. In addition, dermabrasion can also be used for scars caused by chickenpox, etc.

The chickenpox rash mainly affects the epidermis of the skin, so although the symptoms are severe, no scars are left after recovery. However, if the rash is scratched and causes bacterial infection, the dermis of the skin will be damaged. Then, even after the chickenpox is cured, permanent scars will be left on the skin.

In fact, no matter what happens, it is the same. The epidermis will not leave scars, but the dermis will definitely leave scars. What methods can be used to remove existing acne scars? First, let’s get to know the types of acne scars: acne scars can be mainly divided into two types: spots (i.e. acne marks) and scars (depression or protrusions). The spots are divided into red and black spots.

The red spots are caused by inflammation of cells in the area where the acne originally occurred, which causes blood vessels to dilate. However, the blood vessels do not shrink immediately after the acne disappears, resulting in temporary, flat, red spots. It will get redder when the skin temperature rises or when you exercise. This redness is not considered a scar and will gradually fade within 4 to 6 months. Black spots are caused by pigmentation after acne inflammation, which leaves a dark and dirty color in the places where red acne has appeared, making the skin dull. These black colors will actually disappear slowly over time. Impatient people have to apply some ointments that can remove melanin or undergo fruit acid peels or vitamin C introduction.

The above introduces the methods we can use to remove scars left by chickenpox. As long as you master the methods correctly, you can try to use them, but the premise is that these methods need to be suitable for patients. Because no matter what kind of disease it is, the method of treating wounds needs to be targeted. When treating scars, you also need to clearly understand what color the scars are.
