Yes, you can use Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel on chickenpox pit-like scars. It may help make the scars look smoother and lighter over time, but it cannot fully remove the small holes or marks left on the skin. For deeper or older scars, a dermatologist may suggest treatments like laser, microneedling, or fillers for better improvement.

Chickenpox marks that have been present for many years are usually deep scars, and creams alone may not remove them completely. Regular use of mild topical treatments, such as retinoid creams or glycolic acid products, may improve skin texture slightly over time. However, for better results, dermatological procedures such as laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels are often more effective. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to choose the most suitable treatment for your skin.

Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel may help improve the appearance of a chickenpox scar by making the skin smoother and less noticeable over time. However, it cannot fill deep holes or pitted scars, as it mainly works on surface healing and texture improvement rather than rebuilding lost skin. For mild improvement, it can be useful, but for deeper scars, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. They may recommend treatments such as microneedling or laser therapy, which are more effective for long-term results.

There is limited research on the safety and effectiveness of Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel in children. It may not be suitable for all ages or skin types and can sometimes cause irritation or allergic reactions. Due to these risks, do not use it on a child without consulting a doctor first. Always consult a healthcare professional to ensure it is safe and suitable for your child’s specific needs.

Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel may help improve the appearance of chickenpox scars, but it cannot completely remove them. It works best on newer and superficial scars by hydrating the skin, promoting new cell regeneration, and improving skin texture over time. Chickenpox scars are often deeper and pitted, so the results with topical gels alone can be limited. Regular application over several weeks to months is usually needed to see mild to moderate improvements. It is also important to protect the affected skin from sun exposure, as this can make scars more noticeable. For more persistent or deep scars, treatments such as silicone gels, microneedling, or laser therapy under a dermatologist's care may be more effective.

Mederma Plus can help slightly fade older scars, but for scars 7–8 years old, silicone-based treatments and dermatological procedures are more effective. If the scar bothers you cosmetically or functionally, the best step is to consult a dermatologist, who can tailor treatment to your scar type and skin.
