Chickenpox Scars
Chickenpox Scars Removal in Pune
Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. One of its most recognizable symptoms is an itchy, blister-like rash that can lead to long-lasting scars, particularly when it appears on visible areas like the face. Although chickenpox is typically a short-term illness, the resulting skin damage and scarring can have a lasting impact on one’s confidence and appearance.
The main cause of chickenpox scars is scratching or rupturing the blisters. During the infection, the skin forms multiple fluid-filled lesions that can extend deep into the skin layers. When these blisters are scratched or popped, it disrupts the natural healing process, increasing the risk of deep skin damage and permanent scarring.
The primary cause of chickenpox scars is the scratching or popping of the blisters. During the infection, the skin develops numerous fluid-filled blisters that are often deep. Scratching or rupturing these blisters can worsen the damage to the deeper layers of the skin, leading to scarring.
Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It leads to an itchy rash with red spots and fluid-filled blisters, along with fever and fatigue.
Airborne droplets (coughing/sneezing)
Direct contact with the rash or fluid from blisters
Contaminated surfaces (less commonly)
Antihistamines for itching (e.g., cetirizine)
Calamine lotion or oatmeal baths to soothe the skin
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) for fever and pain (avoid aspirin in children)
Antiviral medications (e.g., acyclovir) in severe cases or high-risk patients
Chickenpox scarring can be prevented by avoiding scratching, using an anti-itch cream to reduce the urge to scratch, and by applying a soothing lotion on the blisters so that the itchiness is reduced. Using a scar cream to moisturize the wounds caused by chickenpox, is also a good way to stop scarring.
