Send photographs of the scars.
Procedural therapy might be required for the scars like lasers and fat grafting, and there are other multiple options too.
Creams would require consistency and time.
Next Steps
kindly do online consultation and send good pictures

Hi there....
At that point of having got the chicken pox infection, perhaps the treatment was not instituted immediately.
Also perhaps you pinched some of the lesions or dislodged the scabs that customarily formed prematurely....
Either way, they may not be able to be removed with just creams.
All depends on the depth and type of scars.
Some clear digital pics of the affected area will be useful to suggest further mangement.
Do consider an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
