My 4yo son has just recovered from ckn pox. a forehead scab came off in the bath; left a small, obvious, slightly indented pink circle. what can i do?

Chicken Pox Scar: You can use vitamin E, open the capsule and put it on the scab twice daily. Also, mederma can help. The pinkness will definitely go away in time. The other things will be minimized by the vitamin e and mederma.
