Chickenpox scars fades with time. Besides try the following remedies to help fade them sooner –
- Apply sandalwood oil on the scars regularly till they fade.
- Apply a thin layer of honey over the marks and leave it for 20 minutes.
This is a good remedy to lighten the scars. - Apply aloe vera gel or vitamin E oil on the marks regularly to lighten them.
- Include vitamin A in the diet in the form of papaya, mangoes, spinach, and yellow pumpkin. Vitamin A helps resist infection and is also an essential nutrient for skin.
- To boost your immune system include vitamin C in the form of guava, orange, lime and sprouts. It will also help to fight viral infection and fasten the healing of the skin.
- Take adequate rest, avoid scratching the scars and minimize your stress levels.
- Keep yourself well hydrated by drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.
