Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Marks and spots after chickenpox 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 .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing you good health.
