Chicken Pox scars help

Does anyone have any experience of the craters/dents left from chicken pox healing?

My 2 year old daughter had a bad case of chicken pox (she was hospitalised on morphine and given the anti viral too) over 3 weeks ago now and despite not picking any of her scabs is left with a significant number of these puncture wounds on her face.

They aren’t deep but are below the surface of the top layer of skin.

It’s heartbreaking to see so many on her poor little face and so I’m hoping there is something we can do to give them a chance of healing well.

We’re trying Bio Oil and Aveeno moisturiser but aren’t sure if that’s the best thing or even if it’s better to leave them untreated.

Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Has anyone had good results with Bioskin Junior on chicken pox scars on face?

hey there, I know you posted sometime ago so was just wondering how your daughter is doing?

We have recently gone through the same thing, including hospitalisation.. it’s been about three weeks and my dad has big scars which are indented but not very deeply.. really worried about it long term..
