Scars after chickenpox

Chickenpox scarring is common in young patients, although older patients sometimes come in for treatment as well.

Where are chickenpox scars located?

Chickenpox scars are usually located on the forehead. Other localisations are much less common and are understandably much less disruptive.
 

What are the characteristics of chickenpox scars?

Chickenpox scars are almost always hypotrophic scars. Their treatment strategies are similar to those for hypotrophic post-acne scars. The only difference is that skin on the forehead has a different thickness and structure from skin on the cheeks.

The treatment specialist must also take into account the function of the facial muscles on the forehead, as it affects the appearance of the scar.

The treatment of chickenpox scars almost always involves a course of procedures and the use of a combination of methods: mainly laser procedures and medical support, panthenol preparations, and sometimes also filler injections.
