If the black spots after chicken poxs get dry got removed will changing clothes will they be permanent scars or will be removed in some days?

Depends on the depth: The black spots are eschars/scabs. The more superficial they are, the less a disfiguring a scar results. It is not clear how easily these came of with the change of clothes. Once one has any scars, it is important to use vitamin e oil, aloe vera gel, or silicone gel to help fade the scars. Avoid the sun for 6 months, and wear sunscreen of spf 15 or greater. The pigment from sun gives dark shadow.
