How to Eliminate Chicken Pox Scars with a Natural Skin Care Product That Has Zero Side Effects

When one contracts the highly contagious skin ailment of chicken pox, there is a chance that lasting scars could be a result. This illness is brought about by an infection with the variclla zoster virus (VZV) through either airborne means or direct contact with the rash itself. Upon exposure to VZV, the body produces a host of antibodies that persist for life and can later cause an exacerbation of a viral infection called shingles.



Those most susceptible to chicken pox are children 12 and under. That said, adults do have the possibility of contraction. The first symptom is that of red, itch skin rashes that generally appear on the back, face, and abdomen. After three to five days, the rash will evolve into crops of small red bumps that have the appearance of insect bites. It could proliferate throughout the body as thin walled blisters at this stage reaching the mouth, ears, nose, scalp, and genitals. The danger is when the wall of these blisters break open. Then there are open sores that are highly susceptible to infection. Eventually, provided there is no infection, the open sores form a crust that covers them. Within two weeks time, the scab will fall off completely. The threat is that they will leave behind a crater like scar.



Moreover, coughing, headaches, and fever are the flu like symptoms that are associated with chicken pox. The worst complications come in the form of pneumonia and bacterial infections.



It is important when treating this illness to stay at home to avoid spreading it through contagion. In addition, it is important to not scratch at the pock marks. This helps ward off skin disfigurations of deeper scars and blisters.



If scars are left over from the healed blisters, there are a variety of treatments one can choose from. Dermabrasion is a skin resurfacing scars treatment that is effective as it exfoliates at a deep level within the skin. However it is invasive and can leave the patient with months recuperating. Chemical peels employ a chemical solution to cause the scar to "blister" and ultimately peel off. Throughout the healing process, the skin is regenerating itself. This results in a more smooth and balanced texture. However the side effects are substantial in that the patient experiences stinging and burning sensations afterwards. This in addition to redness on the treated area that could last for weeks, and even the possibility of hyperpigmentation.
