So just about all of Sams scabs have dropped off his chicken pox now but he is seriously covered in scars. Do you think they will fade? He has tons and tons. Some of them are really big. He has a few on his face but his body is covered in them!

Are they just red dots..without any indentations? If they are indented then I think those will be permanent, but the others red like spots should fade. Put up a pic hun. I have a couple of pox scars on my forehead from scratching the scabs off as a kid. xxx

Speaking from experience, I'd say the vast majority will fade, my two older kids both had them and my son has 1 tiny scar left! I really wouldn't worry.

Yeh they just about all have indentations Just getting him out of bath and i will photograph them. xx

aww they dont look that bad, they should fade. x

Bio Oil huni - I know it is expensive but it really does work to help scars to fade. The sooner you start to use it the better. It is about £10 ish for a bottle in Boots but a little does go a long way, I think they do a smaller bottle too xxxxxxx

Normally it's just the 'mother pox' that leaves a scar. Something to do with it being the main one. My nephew had his on his forehead. Mine was on my chest.

I'm sure all of them apart from that one (if you know where it is) will go x

Most of them from what I can tell from the pics hun should defo fade..the one you zoomed in on..looks like it may scar a little. xxx

He is so little hon im sure once hes older they will be gone or hardly noticeable.

God i hope so poor dude! Cheers gals xx

They should fade away honey, Owen had poxy chickens at 6 weeks old and has 2 scars one on side of nose and one on base of spine (queen or main one)
I believe if you scratch the heads off they are meant to scar but think it's old wives tales just keep him moisturised and in the summer let sun get to him to increase vit d (I think it is

Wil's looked like this last February and he still has a few marks on his back but they are gradually fading. It seems to take ages but I am noticing them less and less.

yeah id say they will fade hun, leo looked like that after his scabs had gone, but they all cleared up eventually except one on his chest...they did stay red for a good few weeks though cos i thought they were scars too xx

mara do youremeber amelies chicken pox ? she has bad scars and im hoping as she grows they will fade she had really deep scars too :O( xx i hope sams fade x

I would say they would fade too x
I had really bad ones wheni was younger especially on my nose and they have faded luckily xx

My son had chicken pox in June and he is 10, all the ones on his body have gone but he had 2 really nasty deep spots on his face which have left scarring and they are both indented

hey mara

i had pox as bad as sam when i was about two ish..

the only scars i have is one indented on on my fore head and one round scar on my ribs and one on my shoulder blade.. so hopefully fx they will go xx
