Chicken pox marks are pretty much the same as any other kind of scars you may have due to acne, pimples and related skin problems. However, you will be happy to know that chicken pox marks are superficial and usually fade away with time. Even though they are particularly unsightly when they are around, it really does not take much for them to go away. If you have scratched your skin and peeled your chicken pox scabs off, the scars will definitely take much longer to heal. However, you should know that you should wait for at least a year before you consider cosmetic treatment to get rid of your scars. The reason for this is that sometimes it takes that long for the scars to disappear. The best way to deal with permanent scars of any kind is to use silicone sheets for them. These can be ordered online or they may also be available at a local pharmacy. The downside of this treatment is that it is rather expensive and there is a chance that your pharmacy might not keep. You can also consult a dermatologist who will be able to suggest safe methods to reduce your scars.
You can also start to exfoliate your skin gently in order to ensure that your skin is regularly exfoliated of dead skin cells and is taken care of properly. This maintenance routine should be followed about once a week at least. This will help to not only remove scars but also to even out your skin tone quite effectively. You can use any creamy scrub for this purpose. You can also apply dabs of a paste made with sandalwood powder and rose water to your marks. This will also help to lighten and eliminate the scars. Do remember that you will have to apply this remedy for a while before you can start to see the results and may take a long time to completely eliminate the scars. You can also apply diluted hydrogen peroxide to your scars. Use a dilution of one part of hydrogen peroxide and one part of water for excellent results. Try to use this solution at night so it has a longer time to work. Also, you must not go out in the sun after using this remedy, else you stand the chance of your skin darkening further. Mash a small piece of ripe papaya and add a few drops of honey to it. Papaya contains enzymes that help to reduce scars and honey nourishes your skin by providing it with amino acids and vitamins.
