Introduction

I am one of those unfortunate adults who has chicken pox. As I searched the web for information it became apparent that much of the information is about children sufferers and very little about adult sufferers. I will not be posting any pictures since I think we all know that chicken pox sufferers look spotty!

I hope this blog will be helpful for other sufferers.

I would also like to add I am not a doctor, and therefore always seek qualified medical advice.

Wow, thanks for sharing and creating this blog. I too have suffered severely from the chicken pox and have overcome it, now fortunate enough to help others.

Good luck and keep it up! Great blog.

Just want to say thank you to the Author for creating this Blog. I had to deal with the Chicken Pox while working abroad on my own. This Blog helped a great deal to keep me calm as I was able to predict to some degree how the virus would come and go. Thank you!

I understand that this blog was written few years back but up to now it is still very helpful. I'm an adult who's currently suffering from chicken pox and to be honest, aside from its irritable itchiness, I am more concerned and bothered with how and when the scars, dark spots would completely go away. Thank you for journaling the day by day stages and development of your chickenpox experience. It actually lessens my depression. Hoping for fast recovery from this virus. Thanks again for your blog!! Keep writing! Kudos!

Day 231

Most of the brown scars have not pretty much vanished. Once or two very faint ones left. Quite a few little craters but can't really see them on the face. One larger crater on cheek but thats ok, got used to it now. Have stopped applying the Mederma and Bio-Oil everyday. Just put them on now and then. Few brown scars on body particularly around the waist, they will remain.

Day 22

Well, over the course of the last few weeks since I last posted all the scabs on my body have fallen off. No marks left from the ones from the body just faint pink ones for some spots. However, when the scabs fell of face, they were pink first now gone brown, so have all these brown blemishes over face. Dr says they should fade but will take a very long time! He said immediate solution could be laser treatment, but will wait and see. Shaved the beard off few days ago which is great but reveals more brown spots so growing stubble back. Been rubbing BioOil at night, and Dr suggested I use Mederma few times a day [Please seek your own medical advice]. One lymph node still a little swollen, Dr said it will probably stay like that but to keep an eye on it. Still had a few scabs on scalp, almost all gone.

Day 123

The scars are slowly fading, some have disappeared. One or two actually look permanent. Most of my scars that remained were on my face. The ones on my body have pretty much gone. I have one or two craters on my face, the scar colouring has gone from them, guess they are permanent too. Still keeping to my regime of Mederma cream during the day and BioOil before bed (Please seek your own medical advice). Most people I bump into these days say I look a lot better than I did earlier this year so thats good.
