Would fillers improve my chicken pox scar? What other treatments would work, maybe a more permanent option? (Photo)

Genuine7707Feb 15, 2019
So I had lovely clear skin right up until I was 16, then I caught chicken pox and got, what I see as a huge scar, right in the middle of my forehead. Now I’m 23 I want to know what my options are in relation to removing this scar from my face as I really hate it and feel really ugly because of it.
