Chickenpox scar develops into deadly skin cancer 30 years after woman caught the virus

A WOMAN has revealed how her chickenpox scar developed into deadly skin cancer - nearly 30 years after she caught the virus.

"It would heal, a scab would form, it would fall off and an open wound would be there until a new scab would form."My under-eye swelled and my wound site got bigger each time it would open and heal again.“After the first infection I noticed it had changed in appearance. It had tiny little blood vessel veins around it."Louise, who has a family history of cancer, began searching her symptoms online as she began to fear the worst.

She said: "I was awake for the surgery, just under local anaesthetic. They take some of the cancer cells away.

Oh lope for her fast healing
