A chickenpox lesion in the cheek should be cared for gently to promote healing rather than trying to "fill" the hole.

🩺 Care for the Chickenpox Lesion

• Keep the area clean and avoid picking or scratching to prevent infection and scarring.
• Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser and pat dry gently.
• Applying a recommended scar gel like Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel can help improve healing and reduce scar appearance once the lesion has fully closed and is no longer an open wound.
• Avoid applying any products on open or raw skin; wait until the skin has healed over.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

• If the lesion shows signs of infection (increased redness, swelling, pus, or pain).
• If healing is very slow or the wound is deep.
• For personalized treatment and scar management advice, consult a dermatologist.

Using a scar gel after the wound has healed can support skin regeneration and improve texture, but it is not meant to fill open holes. Please see a dermatologist for proper wound care and scar treatment guidance.
