A l ittle OT - chicken pox scars

[Andrea]

Kami is over the CP, but his face has some nasty loking scars. Will they
fade? I am hoping so because he looks terrible.

he's young enough not to pick them, so they will almost certainly fade,
sometimes they leave a small ring, like you pressed a drinking straw into
his skin, but with no colour so only noticeable if you go looking for it.

My kids, who had chicken pox at 2 and 3, have no visible scars. OTOH, I, who
had them at 22, have some nasty ones. Kamron should be fine.

I had them at 3 and have scars on my forhead. They are pretty faint now, but if
I'm really looking for them I can find them. As a previous poster said, Kam is
very young and probably didn't scratch too much, so I expect his will fade.

It really depends. I had them at age 4 - and have no scars. My
stepson had them when he was 3 or 4, and he has lots of scars on his
chest and back. My husband had them at about that same age - no scars.
My brothers had them at almost the same time - one was 9 months old
and the other 3 years old. The three year old wound up with some VERY
faint scars, the 9 month old none.

It could have as much as anything to do with his individual propensity
toward scarring.

IF he has any permanant scarring, it won't be all that noticable -
they mostly look like very faint indentations. Your average acne
scars are usually more noticable.
