Hello,

Chickenpox scars (holes/dents) can be treated by subcision. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a dermatologist. Micro-needling and chemical peels combined with subcision may help to heal the indented scar and form a normal layer of skin. Collagen induction therapy and laser resurfacing is equally effective. You can also use home remedies like exfoliation and face packs with vitamin E, honey, oats, lemon juice, turmeric & milk applied at least twice daily.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
