My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
