With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

How long until they go away totally? My sister has had hers for a month now gradually dissappearing. 2. I can't tell if they are lessening or not and am feeling very embarrased, how can I get more self-confidence? 3. I don't think theyre scars yet as there are quite a few and they are reddish brown. My worst fear is that these will become noticable scars and haunt me forever. I know this doesn't really have to with dieting, but somewhat with health and body as it's about appearance.

I had a horrible case of Chicken pox when I was 13, and do have a little scarring, but for the most part they just fade away. You are just seeing the bad side of the inflammatory process. I have like three or four scars, and they are hardly noticeable. Just take your time and get better. :)
