Varicella Scar

Varicella Scar

I had varicella infection when I was 9. I was told not to ***** or pick on my scars since they have a tendency to leave a depressed mark/pitted scar. Unfortunately, I could not bear the itchiness and accidentally scratched my scabbed wound on my forehead, removing the scab and consequently leaving a pitted scar. I would like to know if it is surgically possible to get rid of this scar?And if it is, will the scar of incision from the surgery leave a mark?

We humans heal by scar formation.  The extent of the scar after any surgical revision will depend on location of the treatment area and genetics of healing of the individual.  It is obvious that you need to seek a consultation with a local plastic surgeon who can advise you about the likely outcome of any correction of your scar.
