Brief Answer:
Carbondioxide laser treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the scars due to chicken pox.
Scars are the formed due to damage of tissue due to either any infection or inflammation.
As such there are no topical creams which can regenerate skin to such extent to treat scars.
Tretinoin or glycolic acid cream can produce some nominal effect but are better used as supportive treatment.
The best results are obtained with Carbondioxide laser therapy.
Satisfactory results are also seen with microneedling treatment with dermaroller.
Application of concerntrated tricloracetic acid over scars (CROSS technique) every 15-20 days can also produce good results.
I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist and discuss in detail the appropriate treatment protocol for your condition.
Hope the information was useful.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
The cost is highly variable

Detailed Answer:
The cost is highly subjective and varies from doctor to doctor.
Single session of laser can cost around 4000 to 7000 while a session of microneedling ranges from 2000 to 4000.
Number of sessions is also subjective and depends upon how well your scars respond to treatment. Generally 4-5 sessions is required to obtain desired results.
As per the policy of HCM i am sorry to say I wont be able to suggest you any specific doctor.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
