Chickenpox scars usually happen only if the lesions (boils ) are tampered with (scratched/picked/attempt to burst). The lesions must be left alone and allowed to heal by themselves and continue medications and instructions given by your doctor.
Next Steps
-If the itching is unbearable, apply lactocalamine lotion or splash cool water on face.
-Cut nails very short
