Treating chicken pox scars

Question:

Hi Jeremy, I'm currently 19 years old and I need your advice on whats the best solution for chicken pox scars?? I had chicken pox for about 3 years now and I've developed deep scars around my forehead, between my eyebrows and one under my right eye. This has been a big factor socially. I want people to stop taking notice when they talk to me. I'm really self conscious about these scars. I just want to get rid of it completely or even minimise the scars as much as possible. If you had some case like mine could you please send me any pictures of results?? Looking forward to hearing your advice. Thanks. Andrew

Answer:

The answer to the scars is to improve the contour of the skin and this can be done non-surgically or surgically. If the scars are narrow and deep the best option is surgical excision. For shallower broad scars the best option will be a form of resurfacing and this can be Laser, dermabrasion, or chemical peels. Chemical peels can be done out of hospital and repeated to achieve the finalresult, and also have a lesser down time and faster recovery. This is my preferred choice.
