Chicken pox

My daughter had chicken pox recently, as much as I tried to tell her not to pick her scabs she obviously has... And typically the few she had on her face. They are now the sunken in bits and I'm guessing they will leave permanent scars Sad
Does anyone have any tips to try and reduce them at all? I'm using bio oil but don't think that'll do much tbh.
Unfortunately they are in places where they can't be hidden and naturally she now doesn't want them... If only she'd have listened to me when I told her!

I had huge craters, one right under my eye, where I picked my scabs. Impossible not to they were so itchy!

They will fade and be hardly noticeable, if at all, in time. I know it’s hard when our beautiful children with such perfect skin end up with a mark, DS hit his face and had such a dent the Dr discussed plastic surgery but, thankfully, even that faded to nothing. Don’t be upset, it won’t look like that forever.

Thank you! I just feel unreasonably annoyed about it tbh lol. If it had been because she'd had an accident it's just one of those things... But just feels annoying because she picked them no matter how many times I said not to. Kids ay.
