Thank you for approaching HCM.I understand your concerns.
Chicken pox scars are due to crusts formed by the blisters after opening.
You have got chicken pox recently so it is not advisable to use betamethasone and neomycin now itself.
In the active viral infection anti biotic does not work and betamethasone may aggravate the lesions .Stop all medication now.
Let the lesions heal on its own.Naturally the lesions will decrease by its own.
Only in some people they will cause pitted scars.The healing time depends on your skin type.
So wait for few weeks till the active inflammation decreases.
Till then use natural treatment like aloe Vera,lemon juice.
Take plenty of water.Take healthy food,enough sleep.
After 1 month or so depending on the scar severity you can start using anti scaring agents like
CONTRACTUBEX THRICE DAILY.
There are some techniques in removing scars like
Dermabrasion
Chemical peeling
Co2 laser techniques
Consult a Dermatologist .
You can use mild soap,use a good moisturizer thrice daily.
Hope this will help you.
Thank you.
