Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Chicken pox scars can resolve with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
You could use a cream containing skin lightening agents like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin etc twice daily, to gradually fade them away.
A vit C supplement once daily would help further. Can take lots of citrus fruits
Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen to protect the exposed sites from sun.
