Hello,
The block spot caused on your face due to chicken pox scar could be due to hyperpigmentation.
The black spot can be removed by cosmetic procedures like a laser. I suggest you consult your cosmetologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
