I got chicken pox on 7th April , my situation was pretty bad and the scabs fell off on 20th April.

This is yesterday's pic. The pox has left me with these three scars on my forehead. It has some tingling sensation, so I'm confused whether to visit a dermatologist now or wait another month for the scars to fill up on their own.

I visited a dermat , the very next day my scabs fell. He gave me a mometasone furoate cream to apply along with a moisturizer, but i was too scared to apply steroid cream on face.

my current skin care routine is pretty simple.

A gentle cleanser,

Bioderma atoderm ultra creme moisturizer

Innisfree alovera gel

Sunheal hydra spf 50 sunscreen.

Kindly guide on what I should do.

Hi. F, 29. Today's day 22 of my chicken pox and it has left these three scars on my forehead. they are still kinda itchy and everyone around me is telling me to wait for atleast 2 months before visiting a dermat.

My current skin care routine is-

Simple gentle cleanser

Bioderma atoderm ultra creme moisturizer

Innisfree aloevera gel

Sunheal hydra sunscreen

Should I visit a dermat now or should I give it some time?
