In April my DD got chicken pox, she mostly suffered spots on her face that didn't become infected and she didn't scratch. The scabs were really dark when they eventually fell off and left craters behind. She has about 20 that are less than 1mm width and most are not very deep. I'm expecting the few deeper ones to stay but wondered about people's experience with the more shallow ones? I'm so shocked at how noticeable they still are and everyone asks about them, telling me it's the worst they've seen etc etc. When she's upset / hot they still are quite red. It's really getting me down and I'm so worried about her starting school in September as I don't want her to face lots of questions about them and they become an issue. Would love to hear how they are months / years down the line.
Thanks - a worried mum :-(
