Chicken pox scar: Many chicken pox scars are depressions in the skin. Deep ones need to be cut out and the skin closed with sutures. Shallow ones can be treated with dermabrasion or lasers.

No creams. : Creams will not work for this... You can try skin needling, dermabrasions, and sometimes a fat transfer to raise the area helps.
