Chickenpox Scarring

Asked for Male, 13 years

My kid had a fever and now there is an itchy rash on his body. I think it's chicken pox. My question is who to seek and what treatment? Also does the chickenpox cause scarring?

Dear Patient,

You can go to any good child specialist for this. The treatment is usually supportive where panadol/Calpol is given for fever, light home-cooked foods that the child can enjoy are given, make sure he has lots of water. The chicken pox marks only cause scarring if they are scratched so ask your child to avoid scratching himself.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
You can seek help from the doctors listed below.
