Chicken pox scar

Hi All,

This Chiristmas my 4 years old daughter contracted chicken pox and gave it to he’s 4 month old brother :(

We tried everything to separate them, but did not work.

He managed to scratch one of he’s blister on the side of he’s nose, ( it’s on he’s nose bridge next to he’s eye ) which became inflamed, and probably infected.

We called south doc ( our gp wasn’t open due to Christmas) who prescribed an antibiotic cream.

The scab was huge and when it fell off it left a quite big and deep crater type of scar on he’s nose :(

My heart nearly stopped and since then I can not stop blaming myself that I should have done something differently .

Our gp never mentioned the vaccine, and had no idea that it can leave such a nasty scar(s) (my mum also never told me about the scars as I had none from it, I guess I was lucky)

My question would be are these scars are fading, filling in by time or staying forever?

Also as he will grow this scar will stay the same size or it will grow, stretch will him?

The scar around 4-5mm long and quite deep also :(

I know worse things happening and I should feel very lucky to have only one scar but what mainly bothers me that it’s on he’s nose.

I wouldn’t mind if it would be somewhere else on he’s face.

Thank you in advance!
