A member asked:
It's been over 3 weeks since i got chicken pox & i still have scars, including a concave brown one on my forehead. will they go away on their own?

Chickenpox scarring: Unfortunately, chickenpox scars can persist after the infection. The good news is that scars remodel themselves for about a period of 2 yrs- thus after a period of time, the scar will become smaller and less distinct. If the scar REALLY bothers you, U might want to see a plastic surgeon. They have tools that may help improve your image. There is a chickenpox vaccine that could have prevented this.
