Chicken Pox Marks On Forehead, Holes Formed On Scratching. Treatment For Marks?
Hey I wanted a question to ask you a question. Concerning my chicken pox holes or whatever. So I had chicken pox when I was one and I m currently 15 years old. When I had chicken pox s I had them on my forehead , my mother said I scratched them Alot & after they went away they left a mark. That looks like punctured round holes. Is there any solution to this?
