Chickenpox scars treatment

[Inchiii]

my daughter suffered from severe chickenpox 5month ago and has a lot of scars especially in face. Im interesting in moms experience for professional scar treatment in young children like co2 laser and some treatment like that because creams doesn’t work. I know that laser treatments are possible in young children in some cases like dog bites or other traumas, and ofc in this situation. Thank you for your answers.

They really do disappear on their own. My DD was covered in spots, many became infected, but she has no scars at all.

If she is young they will become unnoticeable in a year or so.

Oh my god. I hope that will be our case. Im really sad because of that and I really want to help her. How much time for them to disappear ? Do you use something? We use contractubex.

BioOil and vit e oil/cream are very good for fading scars BUT DD had awful CP at 9 months old and was badly scarred afterwards, but they faded on their own.

She is two years old, and she got them 3months before her second birthday.

Oh my god. I hope that will be our case. Im really sad because of that and I really want to help her. How much time for them to disappear ? Do you use something? We use contractubex.

Genuinely just leave them. My daughter had terrible red marks all over her face and you can't see them at all now and haven't been able to see them for years. She is 14.

Another vote for Bio oil

But they are little bit indented. Does your daughter had indented scars?

Very slightly but you wouldn't notice them unless you were about 10cm from her face and they are a lot smaller than they were.

Thank you! After how many time they faded?

Exactly like scars that my daughter have. I cant post picture because is too big size.

Thank you💕

When I was a toddler I was scalded badly by hot tea in an accident. I had bad mottled scaring over me chest and lumpy skin on my hip.

By my tweens, the mottled scaring had faded. During puberty the lumpy skin on my hip got stretched out and became only noticeable as variation in skin colouring.

I then had 20 years of scar free skin and then emergency gall bladder removal followed by pregnancy in my 30s. I now feel like one big blobby bunch of scars and stretch marks.

Our bodies keen these records of our lives. I can understand your concern for your "perfect" daughter, but it's probably equally important not to make her feel self conscious about her appearance and to have confidence that goes deeper. One of the few guarantees in life is that we'll pick up scars and wrinkles, and will not keep perfect skin!

Hi, I’m ok with scars and we all have some sort of scars but I didn’t saw one single child with so many scars like my daughter and if I want to help my daughter to prevent bullying in future which I was gone through when I was a child I think it’s not a bad thing. For me she is the most beautiful and brilliant child no matter what she has on her skin, and yes I wont stop fighting to help her with this and other problems which she would have even if I have to go to the end of the world.

I am a bit worried that you are over reacting to this. She is healthy and this is a minor and very common thing to have and she is only 2. You are more likely to cause her damage by worrying about it which she will pick up on and absorb.
Do you have health anxiety? Do you think it might be worth you going to see your gp to have a chat and ask for some help?

My DD was just over 2 and she really was covered. I can't remember really how long it took, but I'm fairly certain there weren't any obvious ones by the time she started school just after her 4th birthday.
We didn't treat them with anything.

Hi, what if I tell you that her doctor send us to the plastic surgeon and he suggested us co2 laser. My husband and I want to find parents with similar problem and their experience. I’m not overreacting and its normal to be worried. My daughter doesn’t know nothing about it and doesn’t feel it. And no, I don’t have healthy anxiety, I am just worried mom, that’s all. Thank you for your concern.

Thank you a lot💕

If that is the case why didn't you do what the doctor said? It must be really bad, or you are not in the UK for a doctor to be recommending a treatment on such a young child.

What kind of doctor would refer children with chicken pox scars that fade over time to a plastic surgeon!? Worlds gone mad.

Im assuming not the U.K. or a private doctor.
@Inchiii Please be careful as your daughter grows that you don’t pass on these expectations of perfection to her.

I get you are worried and she is your beautiful baby but they’ll fade as she grows. She will pick up marks and possibly injury scars as she grows it’s normal. We aren’t supposed to be perfect

My DS had some bad scars on his face from CP, all faded away apart from one, it’s just over his eyebrow. I think it helped keeping his face moisturised. You can get gel strips that promote healing, maybe you could try these on at night.

Thank you. We don’t live in UK, and for doctors in my country she is a rare case. Also pediatric plastic surgeon was excellent and he wants to wait one year before any treatment, but also he thinks that her scars will not fade away. Absolutely no, I will not pass expectation of perfection on her because no one is perfect, but we live in a country where people will bullying her because of it in every single moment and in awful ways, so I want to protect her from that. In my country if you have something which differs you from others you can expect bullying. That is sad but true.

Thank you very much💕

Exactly because I dont know anyone which child has treatment but doctors suggested us treatment. I am not in UK.
