Severe chicken pox help!

[DL77]

Hi all,

A few months back my 2 year old daughter had a case of severe chicken pox (hundreds of spots everywhere and some complications resulting in being hospitalised for 3 days on anti-vitals and morphine).

At the time the hospital said they’ve seen a lot of severe cases in younger children, they suspect due to Covid ruining everyone’s immune system. My 4 year old had it a few weeks before her and sailed through fine. Wish we’d have known about the vaccine but that ship has sailed…

She’s thankfully recovered well 3 months down the line but despite not picking any she has been left with a lot of red scars/dents on her face.

We’ve tried all sorts to help these recover but things seem to be hit and miss and nothing is really making a huge difference. The marks on her body have pretty much disappeared but those on her forehead in particular aren’t shifting.

Does anyone have experience of this and any advise on treatment routines to help her? Conscious they may not go completely but if there’s anything that can make a small difference to her recovery then we’ll give it a try.

Thanks in advance everyone!

There’s still a few indents but as per the previous picture you can’t see them most of the time. A minor miracle given how back she had it

@DL77 Wow that is incredible. I'm so,so pleased for your daughter. Thank you so very much for taking the time to help me and reassure me x

My 3 year old also had it very bad last year- hundreds of spots and also hospitalised. A year on and barely any scarring at all, expect for one on her forehead. I was so worried at the time because she was plastered in them, with multiple spots infected.

@Suspiciousmind1 that must have been so frightening. I'm glad she came through ok and with only the one scar.
Do you mind me asking how big/deep the one that scarred was originally? It seems forehead ones have a hard time filling in :(
