I had the chicken pox over the last week. And now all the dots (especially on my face) have turned into dark(almost black) scabs. I tried to cover them up with make-up but it didn't work to well. Trust me, It's not acne...it's the chicken pox. Is there to cure these faster? Any specific lotion or any particular make-up brand that will cover them up?

Polysporin.
Put it on each scab twice a day (after you wash your face at night and when you get home from school). It's basically super strong Neosporin. Like... Neosporin 5x! Haha. It really works. I have a ... well, a violent cat. (She can be sweet at times, but that's off the topic.) Sometimes she'll scratch my face. (Yes, sweet cat.) When that happens, just a little Polysporin and about two days (three for really bad cuts) and there isn't any more scab. Works the same for acne scabs. Pretty cool. It's not expensive (maybe $5), and it can be found at most any WAl-Mart, CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens etc.
Don't scratch the scabs off. That'll only make them worse. Be sure to wash the makeup off of them as soon as you get home from school. :)
