Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of scars on the face caused due to chicken pox which is known as atrophic scars. Need not to worry. Treatment will depend upon the severity of scar and indentations . I would suggest you to apply a moisturizer with vitamin E and apply turmeric powder mix with honey for 15 minutes daily and then wash it . If the scars and pits are severe and do not go away with above method then consult dermatologist for proper clinical evaluation. Doctor may recommend cosmetic procedure or laser therapy. Aloe Vera extract directly onto the pitted scar.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
