Suggest Treatment For Chickenpox Scars

I have red bumps on my torso and no where else. They do not eat but resemble a chickenpox. I have used a new detergent fragrance enhancer to my towels and sheets. I was freaking out because I thought they were bedbugs..Yuck! .but we checked every stitch of our bed and nothing? I also have a hot tub. As the day has gone by I have started to notice I only itch in a few spots on my arms where there is no bumps?? Is this an allergy or what??

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have scars on arms which itch in between which seems to be due to allergic reaction of body and viral infection due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleaniness of area and keep it dry. You should apply aloe vera gel on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. You should apply cream contsining azealic acid on it. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
