It's no secret that every person has to go through chickenpox at least once in their life. Chickenpox is an extremely contagious virus and can result in high fever as well as rashes all over the body. The problem with these rashes is that not only do they hurt but they're also rather itchy and a lot of people tend to scratch that itch. And the problem with that is that scratching those rashes can lead to scarring that can stay on your skin your entire life. So, here are some homemade remedies that can help get rid of the scars.

Aloe vera: Aloe vera is known to have soothing and healing properties which is why it can work wonders for your skin. Either apply the gel directly to your skin or you could just opt for some aloe vera gel ointment that contains Vitamin E or olive oil.

Honey: Rich in collagen-boosting properties and antioxidants, honey happens to be antiseptic in nature and can even help treat scars. Apply some pure honey to your scars and you'll see the difference in no time.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil boasts a plethora of skin-related benefits which ensures that your scars are healed or at least reduced in appearance. It also moisturises the skin from within which can help lighten the scars significantly.

Cocoa butter: Cocoa butter has some intense moisturising properties which can help remove scars, spots and blemishes. Apply it to your skin at least twice a day and you'll notice just how amazing your skin looks later.
