Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Chicken pox scars are pretty challenging to treat and treatment comes with variable results.
Consult your dermatologist today for proper management.
I would suggest you to go for laser therapy (Fractional Co2 laser, Non-ablative RF etc) as it has the best results of all other treatment modalities.
Moreover, if additionally treated with dermaroller or 100%TCA peel (CROSS technique), pretty appreciable results can be achieved.
Hope this will take care of your query.
Thank you
