Will The Holes Left After Chicken Pox Heal Itself?
This is my second week of my chicken pox. I picked off two or three of my blisters before in the initial stages since i didnt know that it was a chicken pox. Now will it leave a hole.? I have black scabs now and two or three fell off on its own. There left a small hole with a yellowish colour inside. Will it close on its own.? Will i have to give some more time for the hole to close or should i do something.. Pls advice...

hi there
1. chicken pox scars are usually ice prick scars
2. they heal up nicely after 3-4 weeks of the infection.
3. if you pick them then they may form deeper scars
so avoid picking them
for such type of deeper scars you can plan for fractional co2 laser after 2 months
don't worry they can be corrected
as off now don't try any products and give enough time for the skin to settle down.
