How Can Chicken Pox Scars On The Forehead Be Removed?

Hi, is there anything I can do to get rid of a depressed chicken pox scar on my forehead? It s just like a circle bang on in the middle, I m only 16 so I m not sure if anything surgical is possible. I ve had it for about a year and a half, it knocks my confidence down and I d do anything for it to go away.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Scarring is a permanent condition, so scar treatments may improve the condition, but rarely remove it. Another “treatment” for scarring is simply accepting oneself. None of us are perfect, and many people suffer with acne scarring and live normal and happy life. Many surgical, chemical and laser procedures are available for surgical scar revision Only a select few plastic surgeons and dermatologists are specialized in chicken pox scar revision surgery. So go to a good center which is specialized in such procedure.
Thanks
