Chickenpox will leave scars?

Varicella-part of the broader, to extend to the head and face, and mass appear, higher number, so some people worry that it will not leave scars, affects artisticly. Such worries are unnecessary.


In General varicella occurs in accordance with the natural course, dissipated, formed after the blister of even larger ruptured erosion surface, soon recovered after more without leaving scars. But if we do not keep the skin clean, repeated scratching behavior of ruptured after secondary bacterial infections, and even gangrene, after the more scars will be. Because the damage parts of Simplex varicella is shallow, did not reach the dermal tissues, if bacterial infection is down which causes scar formation.


Chickenpox do not leave visible scars. Clinical varicella but there are some special type, needs attention.

(1) Bullous varicella in children under 2 years is seen. To occur in batch size of 2~7cm Bullous, formed after the ruptured erosion surface, but recovered quickly.


(2) bloody hemorrhagic chickenpox blister contents, with high fever and severe systemic symptoms. Good in malnutrition, malignant lymphoma, leukemia, and other use of immunosuppressive drugs and corticosteroids in the treatment of patients.


(3) neonatal varicella infection is usually produced by the mother when, less general symptoms, but also system damage and death.


(4) symptoms of chickenpox in adults than in children. Prodromal period long, high fever, systemic symptoms heavier, rash number and more itchy.

Some special types are less seen above, but once it should strengthen nursing to prevent secondary infection. Otherwise just leave scars problem can also occur serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, myocarditis, nephritis, even life-threatening.
