chicken pox scars - how do you cover them up successfully?

Kill.Me.Now

ok, heres the thing. Last year i caught chicken pox from my brother (still not forgiven him yet), at the age of 14½! anyways...all but two of my scars have dissappeared, and these last two are really bothering me :mad:

They are on my face and really stand out under artificial light, especially as i dont have neither spots nor blemishes on my face.
Does anyone have some advice on how to conceal them SUCCESSFULLY with makeup or whatever, like what shall i use etc..

thanky'all for your help

one thing you could try is Vitamin E oil, I've heard that if you use it every morning and evening for a few weeks then its good at healing scars. I've started using it on some insect bites I got over the summer that scarred me! ..I think its working although it could be an illusion

Try laser removal---I guess the doc just zaps them off..Oh and use lemon juice maybe to reduce their appearance.

(I have never gotten chicken pox and I'm 18!! I got the shot though...)

My sister used Bio Oil on stretch marks and she said that it really worked. The label says that it works for scars too. Good luck.

Get some sandpaper and sand the rest of your skin down to the same level as the chicken box scar so it looks perfectly flat and super smooth. Mabybe some ronseal quick drying varnish on top of it all for added effect
