ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the itch and the scarring associated with chicken pox is disclosed.

To further reduce scarring, an antibiotic is applied with the papain, pancreatin or subtilisin. Compositions are provided in the form of solutions, lotions, ointments and salves containing papain, pancreatin or subtilisin and, optionally, a surfactant, an antibiotic and a penetration enhancer.
