Unhappy chicken pox scar

is there anyway to get rid of these? i have one on my face.. i usually just dab bronzer onto it to darken it up, but is there a more permanent solution/suggestions to hide it better?

Apply Aloe Vera Gel. Also, apply lemon juice to the scar. Lemon juice is a natural bleach and should help.

Thankyou, jemma. I have a small chicken pox scar also, on my forehead. It has not bothered me too much before, but now my bad skin is clearing up, I'd like to get rid of it!

chicken pox scars are generally lighter than the rest of the skin tone. I have several ones on my body, and one by my eyebrow, only the one by my eyebrow is an indentation of a pock mark. =/ good thing the hair kinda covers it up

hmm, *smile*, is your scar an identation as well? hmm i heard than vitamin e oil can help heal scars. not sure if it works for old scars though. when i had chicken pox, i did use e vitamin e oil and my scars really healed very fast.

it's not an indentation or anything.. just there. lol... it's not that hard to hide, just a nuisance.
