Chicken Pox Scar Treatment

June 23, 2009


As long as you do not scratch the chicken pox blisters, chances of getting chicken pox scars is minimal. Any scar left behind after you recover from chicken pox, fades off naturally within a few weeks.

Preventing scars

When the chicken pox blisters start drying and the scabs begin falling, patients encounter severe itching problem. However, during this time you should keep your fingers away from the blisters. Scratching can cause wounds, which may become infected. A brush formed with margosa or neem twigs is used traditionally to treat chicken pox itching. The brush should be made of a twig with tender leaves of the plant. When it itches, brush the twig around the blisters to reduce the itching. To prevent scratches, always keep your fingernails short.

Antiseptic bath

To prevent infections, add salt or turmeric to your bath water. You can also add an antiseptic solution to the water while bathing.

Removing scars

Although, chicken pox scars fade gradually over time, but nonetheless several herbal remedies are available to accelerate scar removal. Soak cotton in coconut water and apply it on the scars everyday. Your chicken pox scars will vanish fast. You can also rub the scar with lemon juice. Sandalwood paste, besides soothing the skin, can also help to clear the scar. You can also apply vitamin E oil on the scar. It provides nourishment to your skin, facilitating the rejuvenation of the skin cells to fade the scar. Similarly applying honey on the scar can help to remove it.

Aloe Vera gel can also be used to remove the scar. Cocoa butter and tea tree oil can also help to remove chicken pox scars. To help your body to remain fresh and cool drink plenty of water during the healing process. Vitamin K is essential for healing the scars. Include vitamin K rich food, such as tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, turnips, lean meats, liver and airy products, in your daily diet.
