chicken pox scars

Why do I have these little white circles all over my stomach, chest and a dent on my nose? Im assuming most people had chicken pox so why don't they have the same, does it mean I had it worse or something?

Could be if you scratched the spots when you had it. They tend to scar if you do.

I did they said I got the one on my nose by play fighting with my cousin and he knocked the scar off or something, she blamed it on my dad saying that he was supposed to be on watch, strange.

Yeah I've got a couple. They're not bumps just little circles on my skin, a bit like a TB scar but not as big or noticable. You have to look really closely to see them.

I've got several huge ones on my chest and back, one above my eye... don't worry, nothing to be ashamed of :smile:

My stomach is covered in them (and I didn't scratch!) It's a conversation point, if nothing else.

I've got a few unnoticeable ones, but then one quite large one on my nose. Sometimes it annoys me and I used to be self-conscious about it, but tbh I've had it for about 8 years now and it's just a part of me. People get chicken pox scars, no one really points it out as it's not a big thing! My glasses tend to cover it now anyway...

Think almost everyone who's had chicken pox has scars to prove it, don't worry about it.

I have one on my arm and one on my cheek. Scars are just scars, if you do feel self concious though there always bio-oil or those scar-reducing creams but its probably unnecessary!

Don't worry about it! I'm suffering from chicken poxs right now and from what I have read regarding chicken pox in adults is true the symptoms are much worse. I'm praying they won't scar too much, but at the moment my face looks a complete mess and my back and chest are absolutely covered. If they do scar I'll have a lot :smile:

I have a few scars on my face and one on my chest. I really like them (well, the ones on my face anyway) for some some reason. I didn't scratch much either, so maybe it's something to do with certain people's skin being naturally prone to scarring.

I've got one on my tummy and one on my bum. I didn't scratch them, but I had it pretty bad, spots on spots and 3 weeks in hospital :biggrin:

I've got one chicken pox scar on my cheek. It's quite big but I don't notice it anymore to be honest. It's because I scratched before I knew I had chicken pox. By the time I was diagnosed it was too late - I'd scratched the damn spot already.

I have tiny bumps, I have to look for them but they're there. Also I have a large one on my lower back where I had two spots that combined. There's a scar from an infected one on my forehead, in the top right corner. I used to be really paranoid about it and so didn't get rid of my fringe for years because of it. but really, noone notices them much.

i caught chicken pox from my nephews 2 years ago when i was 23, that wasnt fun. I have the same problem, now have a dent on nose, one just under eye lid and a couple of scars on chest. Dont let it bother you, easiest way.
