Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Chicken pox lesions usually heal with dark pigmented spots. If your lesions have completely healed, apply tretinoin gel/ cream over the marks in night and Kojic acid cream in morning. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen. In couple of weeks the marks would become lighter. You may start using soap now! Hope that helped. Take care
