How to remove chicken pox-like marks on face?

Dr. Robert Alexander answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Consult derm or surg: Crater scarring is common in chickenpox. Filling, mechanical dermabrasion (planning), or surgical removal/suturing are most common treatments. All scarring is permanent, but these help reduce visual noticeability.
