What Causes Raised Dots Inside The Chicken Pox Scars In A Child?
My baby had chicken pox when he was three months old. He only has a few scars but a couple of them have white raised dots growing inside the main crater scar, which appear to continue to grow as he does. Is this anything to worry about? Many thanks.

hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.
* Chicken pox scars don't have central white raised dots like rash. It may be possible that the child is getting some fungal infection or bacterial infection which is presenting like this.
* An examination by skin specialist doctor should be done so that proper diagnosis can be made and proper advice can be given.
* Kindly attach a picture of the scar so that proper advise can be given.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
