I was suffering from chickenpox earlier near around 1 week but now I am absolutely fine. But I have scars of acne on my face. I am using Mederma gel and coconut oil for the scars. Can you suggest me any other or better option for removing these scars from my face and body too?

Hello, Chickenpox scars are inflammatory and tend to form depressed atrophic scar. Mederma cream is onion extract based and inhibits fibroblasts and tend worsen chicken pox scars. You can use azelaic acid based creams till the redness and pigmentation reduce which may take 2-3 months. Once the redness and pigmentation reduce then only scar treatment can be started. With peels, dermabrasion, subcision, fat fill etc.

Hello. Scars these days have got many ways of treatment. Varies from person to person, depending upon the skin type, scar maturity, length, position and width. The treatment might vary from few lightening creams, compression, silicon treatment, superficial dermabrasion, dermarolling, fat grafting to the scar revision surgeries. Personal examination or atleast the complete details of the scar might help in suggesting the suitable treatment. You can consult me online with the pictures as well. Thank you.
