Chicken Pox

[Kgrayz]

Hi
my seven year old daughter has not long got over a bout of chicken pox and had it quite bad . she has what looks like a scar on the top of her nose could this be a scar or R they still healing. thank you

usually lasts a week or two, as far as I can remember - how does that tally?

And did she yield to temptation and scratch a scab?

I tried my best to advise her not to scratch .. maybe she did at night or in her sleep. my 2 boys had chicken pox too and there are no marks on their faces.
just wondering if there is any cream I could put on her. around 2 and a half weeks ago she had her first spot.

If you are worried......buy 1% hydrocortisone ointment and apply it sparely twice daily for about 10 days.
