Will chickenpox scabs leave scars?

After chickenpox scabbing, as long as you do not scratch and no secondary bacterial infection occurs, in most cases no scars will remain. Some patients are scarred or have very severe chickenpox, which damages the deeper part of the skin and can easily leave scars. Before the scabs fall off, patients should avoid picking and scratching the scabs and pay attention to facial hygiene to avoid infection. If the scabs are itchy, take oral antihistamines. If the herpes is ruptured, apply localized glycolic lotion as prescribed by the doctor. For scars that have been left behind, scar softening cream can be applied to remove the scar. If topical creams are difficult to remove, you can also choose laser surgery to remove the scars after consulting your doctor. The shorter the course of the disease, the better the prognosis and the lower the possibility of scarring.
