Chicken Pox Crater Scars, Black Spots On Face. Kayakalp Vati, Mahamanjistha, Margosa Oil Prescribed. Non Surgical Treatment?
Hi Doctor,
I am 29 years old male from India. Last month I got infected with chicken pox; now the fever is gone but it left some Crater type scars and black spots on my face. As per my mom's advice I consulted an Ayurveda expert for the treatment of same. He has suggested me the following ,
Kayakalp vati and Mahamanjishta for blood purification
and margosa oil for external usage (direct apply on holes and dark spots)
I am more worried about these crater type scars, will the ever fill up. Please help me and try to provide a Non surgical method to fill them.
Thanks in advance,
Amit

Hello Amit,
I am a Homoeopath and would like to suggest Homoeopathic treatment for the crater scars on your body remaining after Chicken pox. The appearance of the scars on the body will vary from individual to individual. In some cases, no need to take any treatment. Usually after Homoeopathic treatment during the attack of Chicken pox also, the scars will not make much problems and they will go off shortly after the disease gets over. If taken suppressive treatment or after any external application, the scars show some ugly look after the disease. the appearance of the scar is important. If they are crater type, or having leucodermic patches at the sites, the constitution is 'Syphilitic' in Homoeopathic terms and need treatment for easy and early filling up of the craters. I advise you to send the clear pictures of the craters and come with the answers to make your constitutional features known, I can suggest you the remedy to take for immediate relief. In some constitutions, these scars may create long lasting keloid like formations.
With best wishes for early recovery through Homoeopathy,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
