I had chicken pox a few years back, and you have my sympathy!
Use Solugel liberally – It’s worth putting up with the stickiness ‘cos it heals the chicken pox blisters from inside out, therefore preventing unsightly scar tissue.
After the scabs have dropped off, here are some natural ways of accelerating the healing process:
-
Apply coconut water to the scars with a clean cotton ball every day.
-
Sandalwood paste: apply to scars with a clean cotton ball as well daily.
-
Lemon juice has whitening and healing properties that can also be useful for treating chicken pox scars and minimizing them.
-
Pop a vitamin E capsule & apply to the scars. Other vitamin E creams don’t have same the potency.
-
Apply natural honey to the spots where the scabs fell off and do this daily.
-
Use fresh aloe vera extract.
-
Eat vitamin-K-enriched foods for better healing and to reduce the appearance of these scars. Foods that have this vitamin include spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, liver, dairy products, and cabbage. Lean meats and even turnips are also rich in vitamin K.
-
Drink lots of water. Keeping yourself hydrated will help keep your skin elastic and will also help with the healing process.
-
Cocoa butter also has properties that promote healing and scar reduction. Use this on your scars as well.
Tea tree oil can also be used to help fade scars that are caused by chicken pox.
