I think you mean - chicken pox (small pox has been eradicated).
Greetings. Treatment options for chiken pox scars include 1. for the spot / marks - skin lightening creams - under prescription for specified duration 2. for the depressions / pits / scar - you'll need - punch excision / punch elevation / fractional laser / microneedling - discuss with your dermatologist.
Caution: Make sure you see a qualified MD / DNB/ DVD dermatologist for all your skin and hair issues. Donât be lured in by quacks. Know your treating doctor/ discourage quackery!
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT Centre, Bengaluru
