Large chicken pox scar

My son had chicken pox about 3-4 weeks ago and didn't get many spots but the ones he did were huge. Unfortunately one on his forehead has left a large crater 😖

I am putting dermatix silicone gel on it twice a day. But I feel so awful about it everytime I look at it, I worry it will never look any better.

In harsh light and sunlight it looks even worse and more concave.

Has anyone's child ever had a similar sized pox scar that has improved over time? I know it won't disappear but some stories about them healing and looking less prominent would make me feel so much better!! 😖🙏🏻

hi,

my son has recently had a really severe bout of chicken pox and has scars like this on his face, chicken pox first appeared about 5 weeks ago.

Did your child's marks get better with time? any advice on how we should treat this?

thanks
Amy
