how to get rid of spots?

unnoo tell me caw me noh used to spots inna me face.

k, a couple weeks ago I was plagued by chickenpox. I had it really bad in my face and chest area, but fortunately it only lasted a few days.
now a few spots are left. some friends says it's not noticeable but because I have to look in the mirror everyday I notice! I'm not used to spots and my birthday is in a week or so. How do I get them off(and fast)?

I know I sound a bit silly here but I have been searching the net and I'm a little overwhelmed. should I use a mild chemical peel or some kind of cream(that you guys can recommend)?

Re: Skin care - HELP!!!!

because they are spots due to chicken pox, i would suggest you consult with a dermatologist.

pox marks are a different category than acne scars

Yuh had chicken-pox? hush [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-hugs.gif[/img]

Let's see, if I remember correctly, the only reason 'spots' would remain post pox, is if you scratched... did you? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img]

If so yuh salt...

Also, I believe the 'spots' would be slightly raised, are they?

To lighten my non-chicken-pox spots ~lol~ I use Ambi. As soon as I see the areas blending with the rest of my natural skin-tone, then I stop using...

The trouble is, shortly after I stop using, the spots darken again and it becomes a cycle... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

So mek mi jine yuh an bawl: Anybady have any suggestion?????? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img]

Raw aloe vera can be a bit too strong for sensitive skins and will irritate it. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] Fi yu skin mussi tuff. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Skin care - HELP!!!!

let's see what dr dudd says about vitamin E.

here's a link i found:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Topical vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol or mixed tocopherols) has been shown to have a wide variety of skin benefits. Many studies have shown that vitamin E can help decrease the effects of psoriasis, erythema, and may help in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Vitamin E has also been shown to significantly help in the reduction of scaring from wounds and has been shown to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. </div></div>

Re: Skin care - HELP!!!!

Okay when yu say "spot" what do you mean? do you mean a pox scar? or a simple darkening/reddening of the skin (sorry I don't know your complexion)

if it is a scar then off to the dermatologist you go.

for your special occasion, go to your nearest MAC counter and see what kind of concealer they can provide

donni [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-hugs.gif[/img] don't mess with them anymore. not enuff time before bday fi fix it. best you can do fi yuh party is to try to conceal them with a light concealer. after they have healed completely consult a dermatologist, and inquire about microdermabrasion or a Vitamin C peel. these will smooth out the skin etc. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]
