Can bio oil reduce chicken pox scarring?

Myth but use if help: Many of my patients swear by the benefits of tea tree or bio-oil and so i generally don't dissuade them but there is very little science to support its use. It is probably the massage, (which we know helps scars) that is used to apply the oil, which is actually providing the improvements observed. Massage with any clean oil 3-4 times a day. Silicon gel trips are morel likely to improve the scar.

Chicken pox scar tx: Chicken pox scars are generally atrophic (depressed). Bio-oil (and massage) is not likely to be effective for atrophic scars. Atrophic scars can be treated with dermal filler injections, scar excision, or laser resurfacing. The best treatment will depend upon the number and characteristics of the scar(s). A plastic surgeon can help you choose the best treatment option.
