Pockmarks

Pockmarks are small depressions on the skin caused by the chicken pox virus. They are most commonly found on the face, arms, and legs. Pockmarks start out as small red bumps, which can become itchy and painful. Over time, these bumps can develop into fluid-filled blisters that eventually burst and form a crust. As the blisters heal, they leave behind a pitted scar. Pockmarks can vary in size and depth, ranging from shallow indentations to deep craters.
