Hi
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic
Usually hair loss is a temporary phenomenon with Chicken Pox. Thjere are very rarer cases of permanent hair loss with chicken pox reported in medical literature. Antiviral drugs, topical steroids have been found to be having some success and these can be tried under medical supervision.
Hope thisw helps u
Thanks and regards
