How To Treat The Marks And Spots Due To Chicken Pox?
im 17 years old and i had chicken pox, like 3-4 months ago. After i recovered from chicken pox, these ''NON-INDENTED'' reddish brown marks/spots were left. they dont seem to be fading or maybe thats cause i see them everyday an thus, cant tell the difference. Anyways, will they ever dissappear? and how can i hasten the process naturally? how long do they take to ''naturally'' disappear?

hello
Marks and spots after chikenpox better on their own. This can, however, require weeks to months. The best way to speed healing is to promote general health of skin . In other words, apply a good sun screen when out in the sun and use a good skin moisturizer to keep skin supple. Other than this, no specific treatment is needed. For more specific treatment you need to consult skin specialist regarding use of topical steroids etc .
Thanks
