Chickenpox
I got chickenpox 4 days ago and they don't seem to slow down. M really concerned bout scars specifically on my face as I already have acne scars. Please tell me what to do or which ointment or cream to apply cause some of my rashes have popped and they are not healing. I can't visit the doctor so it would be really helpful if you could help me. I don't have any good dermatologist nearby otherwise would have seeked help. Please suggest me something as I have a wedding to attend after 2 weeks and I dint wanna look like a hideous beast with scars n marks.

I suggest you make an effort and go to a dermatologist as medicine can reduce the newer crops of rashes. Sadly, I cannot prescribe medicine without examining you. Don't scratch the rashes as it would leave scars. You may develop some scarring under the rashes which are bigger. They take time to improve.
Chicken pox will take its course.and then come down.
