Hi Chicken pox scars are notoriously difficult and do take many months to years to resolve and sometimes not at all. If the scars are only pigmentation you can consider Q yag Laser and stronger medical grade depigmentation creams. Fractional lasers reduce the depth of the scars. Some smaller scars can be excised as well. Please contact a dermatologist who offers these treatments in your city
