Gum receded after chicken pox blisters
Had some chicken pox blisters inside mouth. The whole frontal gum was swollen and white because of it. Now that it has subdued I noticed a part of my gum is missing and more than normal dental part is visible without and pain or bleeding. The receded part is red with visible veins.

If you are sure that the cause for this is the subsided chicken pox blister..... Then give it time.
Wait for another 4-6 days. It shall mostly disappear.
Redness is indicative of more blood supply and healing phase. As there is no pain chance of infection is less.
If it doesn't reduce in 4-6 days.... Immediately visit a dentist

Wait for a few days as it may heal on its own. Get a regular dental check up done after a few weeks
