Old Chicken pox scar removal? (photos)

Asked By:theresakrifka in Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Hello. I have had my chickenpox scar for at least 10 years. It is in the middle of my forehead. Although people say it actually suits me and they like the location if it, it has been really hard to see myself in pictures or in the mirror because to me it looks huge. It's like all I can see on my face. I avoid people taking pictures big me as well. I'm not expecting any treatment to make the scar vanish entirety but it would be great if it was raised to the surface of the rest of my skin.
