Hi there
Scars following chicken pox tend to largely resolve in time
The resistant ones require a multi-pronged approach depending on the type of scarring.
Pigmentation can be dealt with creams or spot chemical peels.
Deeper scars may benefit from subcision & or dermabrasion techniques
Lasers may be useful in some scars

Avoid picking at scars; Use a good quality sunscreen from dawn to dusk & remember all these things take time so maintain a pic 📸🤳 taken indoors in same conditions of lighting, distance, backdrop etc for an objective evaluation and comparison 🙏

These look like post-chickenpox scars (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with few early pitted scars). This is common after chickenpox and usually improves gradually over time.
Next Steps
• Start a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50) daily – very important to prevent darkening
• Keep skin well moisturized
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Do not expect very fast results – improvement takes 2–3 months
• Avoid picking or touching scars
• For deeper scars, creams alone may not be enough – procedures like microneedling/laser/PRP may be needed later

Scars are not resolved with creams. You have to get laser treatment done. Visit a nearby dermatologist for further management plan

There are two types of scars. Pigmented scars which can be reduced by skin lightening creams and depressed scars which may require treatment options like laser, subcision etc.

Hello,
Based on your history and images, these appear to be post-chickenpox scars, including both atrophic (depressed) and slightly raised scars.
This is quite common after chickenpox, and the good news is that they can be improved significantly with proper treatment.
Next Steps
Do online consultation.
Health Tips
Use sunscreen (spf50) daily.
