I had my chickenpox in august 2020 and i'm 20 years old .can I use betnovate-c cream for clearing the spots left due to chickenpox.

Question

No. Betnovate will not be of much help since you had chickenpox two months back, you should atleast wait for 2-3 months more. The spots generally clear themselves. However if you wish to use medication, you should go for proper dermatology consultation first.

1.do not use betnovate as it has little clinical evidence of being beneficial. 2.research suggests that applying rosehip oil to a recent scar twice a day for 12 weeks may improve the final appearance. 3. You can use retinol creams with exfoliant cream (after getting prescription for direction and frequency of use) 4. Laser therapy is one of the most commonly used professional scar treatments. It can reduce the appearance of old scars, improve sunken chickenpox scars, and lessen the color of scars. There are several types of laser resurfacing including ablative and nonablative, with the former being slightly more invasive than the latter. Laser treatments can be done on an outpatient basis and usually don?t require sedation. Your doctor will apply a topical local anesthetic before administering the light therapy. The procedure can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
