How Can Chicken Pox Marks On The Face Be Treated?

hi , i m 19 years old and I have a lot of chicken pox scars on my face when I was about 6 years old. they are close to my eyes , on my cheeks, and on my forehead. now I m older and I have the money, I would like to remove these chicken pox scars. I m interested in the best treatment that will remove these scars or if there are any creams that would actually remove these scars close to 100%. I want to know what procedures would most likely achieve the best results. the chicken pox scars that I have are very dark and I have never seen these kind of chicken pox scars online or on anyone else face.

Hello,

As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

If rashes persist you can opt for laser therapy, which is quite effective for this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
