Chicken pox !!!!!!

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on preventing Chicken Pox scars.

My 6 year old son has had the worse time with the dreaded pox with over 100 on his face alone. We had to take him to A&E with a temperature of 41.1 which we couldn't get down and some of his spots became infected resulting in penicillin being prescribed.

He is absolutely fine now, we are just waiting for all the spots to scab over so he can go back to school.
I just worried about scarring especially on his face. Is there anything I can do to avoid it ?????

get all your adult friends round and get them to show him their scars, we did this with our eldest he was totally pickled that couldn't resist itching,

he took one look at some of the pock marks and stopped instantly.

and if you do get any scars try dandelion oil, once they have healed.
