Chickenpox scars

Chickenpox scars are marks left after skin lesions occurring in the course of chickenpox. They most often take the form of small indentations, unevenness, or lighter spots on the skin, especially when the blisters were scratched or became secondarily infected. They may be more visible on the face, forehead, and cheeks. Their appearance depends on the depth of skin damage and the individual healing process. Assessing the type of scars helps in choosing appropriate, possible specialist management.
