Sometimes it takes a long time for the marks left by chickenpox to go away, particularly if the skin was severely damaged or scratched during the healing process. Apply sunscreen every day, use a mild moisturiser, and refrain from picking or cleaning the markings as this could make them darker. Results are typically gradual, however creams with vitamin C, retinol, or minor scar-reducing chemicals may help gradually over time. A dermatologist might recommend laser therapy, chemical peels, or microneedling if the marks are deep pits or extremely dark.
