How to lighten chicken pox scars - #10357
Hello I had chickenpox about a month ago. A skin specialist had recommended Dusklyte Neo cream for the marks, and I’ve been using it for the past few weeks. However, I haven’t noticed much improvement so far. Could you please advise whether I should continue with Dusklyte Neo or consider a different treatment to help lighten the scars.

Ok for your kind information marks remains for long time. It takes time to heal.
1) Use face wash ethiglo Twice daily 2) La Shield SPF 50 / Fixderma Shadow SPF 50+ Gel Reapply every 4 hours if in sun 3) Demelan cream Use at night only on the spots
–4 weeks: Pigment starts lightening
