How long is it suitable to wait for chickenpox scar healing before going for any treatment? (Photos)

SkinFam
Its said that early scars when treated give better results. I had chicken pox on 18th of sept'16. I had total 9 scabs on my face out of which two are still there . As the scabs fall they leave behind a slight depressed shiny brownish pink skin.( Note the skin is shiny there like it needs to come off)Should i wait to see if the scars heal and skin peels off naturally or go for scar treatment at earliest. My derm has prescribed t bact(mupirocin) for post scab inflammation. Please advice.
