Question:

Someone said that Calamine lotion can cause scarring if you have chicken pox... is that correct?


Answers:

Varicella (chicken pox) causes scarring. Some people scar badly, some don't. Picking or scratching at the rash can make the scarring worse; some people, however (like me!) have scarring anyway. Treating the itching with topical preparations will not worsen the scarring.
