hi vidya;
since you had recent attack of chicken pox the scars will remain black for few days before they start fading & match your skin colour.it takes time & there is no immediate remedy.
thanks

Hi Vidya.
Hope you are doing well. The blackness will eventually go. To hasten the process use suncross UVA lotion 2-3 times daily and kojivit cream once daily on the lesions. Wait for a month and then revert back to me.
