Hello, this is Rodam Korean Medicine Clinic, where Coratherapy begins to erase scars.
Chickenpox caused by a virus.
You might think it’s okay because you were vaccinated as a child,
but if your immunity is weak or sufficient antibodies were not formed through vaccination,
you can still contract it as an adult.
Especially in adults, chickenpox symptoms are more severe, and skin damage can be significant, often leaving scars.
So, how should you treat chickenpox scars that have formed this way?
Today, we will discuss the causes of chickenpox, treatment methods,
and detailed information on how to treat pitted scars caused by chickenpox.

Causes of Chickenpox

Chickenpox is a disease caused by the Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV),
which is highly contagious and can spread through droplets in the air from a patient’s cough or sneeze,
or through direct contact with the fluid from skin blisters.
Those who have not been vaccinated or have weak immunity are at higher risk of infection.
Although it is more common in children, adults can also contract it. As mentioned earlier,
symptoms in adults are more severe, and the risk of complications is higher, requiring extra caution.

Chickenpox has an incubation period of about 10 days, followed by symptoms lasting approximately two weeks.
Initially, symptoms such as mild fever, headache, and fatigue, similar to a cold, may appear.
Then rashes accompanied by itching develop on the face, torso, and limbs, which soon turn into blisters.
The blisters progress to pustules and eventually form scabs as the symptoms subside.
During this process, severe itching may occur, and scratching or forcibly removing the scabs can cause significant skin damage, leading to scars.

Treatment for Chickenpox

Chickenpox usually resolves naturally without specific medication, so treatment focuses on symptom relief and preventing complications rather than directly eliminating the virus.
For high fever, acetaminophen can be used as a fever reducer,
and severe itching can be alleviated with calamine lotion or antihistamines to soothe the skin.
In cases of adults, immunocompromised patients, or severe symptoms, antiviral medications like acyclovir may be administered.

Additionally, keeping fingernails short to reduce scratching and maintaining cleanliness of the rash areas are essential to prevent secondary infections.
Drinking plenty of fluids and getting adequate rest can aid recovery.
It is also necessary to avoid contact with others until all rashes have turned into scabs.

Chickenpox Scars

What should you do if scars remain despite thorough care?
Chickenpox scars often result in pitted scars caused by damage to the dermis layer,
and natural recovery is difficult, requiring medical intervention.
Previously, treatments like laser therapy, Fraxel, and chemical peels were used,
but these methods had limitations in fundamentally restoring the dermis layer.
For this reason, more people are now seeking improvement through Coratherapy.
Coratherapy not only releases adhered tissues but also directly stimulates the dermis layer to promote collagen production and induce skin regeneration,
making fundamental recovery possible.
However, not all treatments labeled as Coratherapy produce the same results.
Since this treatment involves manually addressing each scar, the skill and expertise of the medical professional are crucial.
