A member asked:

Is it actually true that blisters in chicken pox will create permanent scars?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Most of the average 200 spots of a chickenpox breakout will leave no scars. They occur in the top layer of the skin so little disruption occurs for most.However, a contamination of the initial blister with other germs like staph or strep & scratching by the patient can sometimes aggravate some if the spots & leave scars.
