I had the chicken pox when I was about 7 years old and I am now 22. I was left with a scar on my nose that is very noticeable and bothersome, and another one on my cheek. My main concern is the one on my nose because I feel it draws the most attention and it has made me self-conscious. Is there a way to remove it?

Answer: Scar on nose It can be surgically excised; however, the results can be difficult to predict due to the nature of the nose being so difficult to heal post surgical excisions. There are other minimally invasive options that can be considered (microneedling, punch excisions, HA fillers, laser resurfacing, etc), that are worth reviewing. Seek the expertise of a board certified dermatologist for consideration of your best options.
