A pock-marked face is a curse for every women. Makeup can hide these marks but cannot vanish them completely. But there are some treatment too for the removal of pock marks.

There are two ways to remove pock marks permanently:

i) Sand-paper surgery: This is generally done in foreign countries. It is not prevalent in India due to its excessive cost. The drawback is that the patient has to suffer a lot of pain due to numerous small operations on the skin, so these operations should be done only by a specialist.

ii) Skin peeling: For skin peeling, many kinds of pastes are applied on the patient's face. A layer of the skin gets peeled off after application of the paste and the skin gets spotless after repeating the process many times.

Smallpox spots get reduced with the advancement of age from childhood to adolescence with the growth of the body. Women should look after their skin, specially their face. At night, before sleeping, use deep-cleansing milk and apply a nourishing cream. Facials also reduce these spots. Lanolin cream, which is available in the market, also helps in eliminating them. Soyabean paste fills the deep spots. Apply soyabean paste on the face, let it dry for fifteen to twenty minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water. This process must be repeated thrice a week.
