I had chicken pox around two months ago and now I'm left with some holes on my face - like on my forehead, nose, and cheeks. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to how it was before. Is it even possible to get rid of these marks, and if so, how long might it take? I'm feeling quite anxious about it all.
