Need Intervention

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,

Scar due to chickenpox can be easily cured by Pixel CO2 Laser. It needs 3-5 sittings depending on depth and improvement of scar.
Alternatively it can also be made less obvious by the use of dermabrasion.
Decision on exact treatment modality can be taken after reviewing the scar.
