Asked By:jmdfvr in São Miguel do Rio Torto, Santarém, Portugal

Hello Dr., Kindly apologize to disturb and approach you with such mundane matters, however I’m really distressed by my condition. I’m 29 and was diagnosed with Chicken pox, 6 weeks ago today. The crusts fell naturally and 1 prematurely on the bath. Some left superficial depressions and one a moderate one not too deep. Will I be permanently scared for life, or is it just normal lesions that will fade or disappear with time? Thanks a lot, JVR
