Are There Solutions Besides Laser Treatment For Scars Left By Chicken Pox?

I suffered with chicken pox in July. I still have scars from chicken pox. I also have small comedones on my cheeks. How can I get rid it with topical creams.

I donot want lazer treatmentment for scars, as I had medlite for pigmentation long before n it agrevated pimples on face.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Chicken pox scars are pretty challenging to treat and treatment comes with variable results.
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.
Since you are not willing to go for laser therapy i would suggest a combination treatment of dermaroller and 100%TCA peel (CROSS technique).
This particular combination of two different treatment will definitely improve your scars.
Hope this will take care of your query.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
