Not sure if there's a difference between boxcar scars and chickenpox scars but I have 3 chickenpox scars, one is located like in middle of my forehead, the other one on my nose and third beside my eyebrown.
The one on my forehead, has not really bothered me before, I saw a picture of myself as when I was a kid, probably around 1-2th grade where I could see this scar on my forehead, So not sure if I got this as I was born or something as the color is exactly the same as my skin.
I also look at my dad, he has the same one but a little less minor than mine next to his eyebrown on temple.
I don't know if I should get a treatment for it, but would you date somebody with this scar? Sometimes I keep thinking that's the reason why nobody has somewhat dated me before, i've been told that i'm cute etc but still not sure if they say so just to keep me happy :(

Probably worst angle I could find, would say 3 mm wide & 2 in depth. On my forehead

And to you people that's yet to suffer from depressions from acne (scars), I really hope you are doing well as you are all beautiful.

Where are you located? These docs on RealSelf offer great advice:

Look into TCA Cross, subcision + suction and microneedling (with a dermastamp). Just be careful if a professional offers you fillers because they can be dangerous and have serious consequences in the area between the eyebrows and forehead but I think the above methods could help you a lot! I think you could achieve major improvement with the help of an experienced derm. I recommend you read all of these studies:

Best wishes! Don't worry you can improve them if they really bother you. Just need to find someone who knows what they're doing and has experience with the above methods. :)

Both acne and chickenpox scars are result of poor wound healing. You treat them mutually the same.

Thank you, but I don't know if I could afford these though, I live in Sweden and eitherway, i'm turning 18 this summer and I can't do much until summer as school is eating me up lol. Well, perhaps during this break but gotta get my dad to agree to those. :(
Anyway thanks again, i'll get their Contact info and try to Contact them via phone if that works.
