Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). Post inflammatory dark spots is a common complication of chicken pox.

I suggest you to use Tri -O- Bloc cream, twice daily for dark spots.

In addition you may also take a tablet of Vitamin C (Celin chewable tablet) once daily.

Brief Answer:
Tri o bloc and calak lotion can be used two to three times a dag

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Yes gou can use calak lotion, twice or thrice daily till you get tri o bloc cream. Once you start using tri o bloc you can discontinue calak lotion. Tri o bloc should also be used twice daily for as long as you get the desired response. Vitamin C is to be taken once daily for 2-3 weeks.
