Greetings. The following would help you :
1. Daily use of sunscreen in day time of SPF 30 applied half hour before sun exposure
2. Daily bed time use of Peeling agents and skin lightening agents prescribed by dermatologist for reducing spots.
4. you'll need other procedures for deeper scars - like punch excision / laser
5. Kindly read my blog on daily skin care on Practo health feed.

Hope this helps.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You can get them treated. Hello a dermatologist.
Consult him in person and he will suggest what can be done.
Certain procedures can help removing them completely or reducing it to a great extent.
Best regards.

Chicken pox scars need specific therapy once the active infection has settled.
Most of them resolve without leaving marks and scars if appropriate therapy (Usually Aciclovir â an antiviral drug) was started in the golden period (within 3 days of having chicken pox). Many of them can still resolve spontaneously in a time frame of few weeks. The remaining stubborn ones need appropriate therapy based on the amount of scarring and pigmentation.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
