----
Maria Rievera (Quezon city) asked: I am 23 years old this year, I recently had chickenpox and as a result, on my face, legs and hands there are many bruises and deep scars left by the blisters. . So is there any treatment that can make the bruises and scars disappear, doctor?
- Doctor Nguyen Thi Tam - Director of Oriental Medicine. Having 34 years of working at the Central Hospital of Traditional Medicine, answered:
Bruises and scars are very common after the chickenpox lesion has healed. If a patient with chickenpox is examined and treated promptly, there is usually no scar. Usually after chickenpox, these bruises will gradually disappear after about 3-6 months.
However, these bruises are caused by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so you need to avoid the sun by using a wide-brimmed hat, clothing and especially sunscreen. About treatment, you can apply whitening agents as prescribed by a dermatologist.
Scars and bruises do not affect health but affect the aesthetics of the skin. If after 1 year, there is no darkening and reduction of concave scars (pitted scars), the patient can be treated properly, avoiding invasive measures.
There are many ways to treat concave scars, depending on the manifestation of different concave lesions. Currently, patients often abuse invasive methods, laser or destroy fibrous tissue, surgery or inject some substances into the bottom of the scar to help the scar become flatter. But the reality is only a temporary measure, very quickly very harmful to the epidermis structure of the skin
In addition, to help skin healthy and recover faster, you should eat foods rich in vitamin K to restore damaged skin and speed up the process of fading dark spots on the skin. Besides, you need to drink a lot of water, at least 2-2.5 liters of water per day to increase circulation and increase natural collagen production to help skin cells become stronger.
