Chicken pox on toddler

What would be the best course of action for improving the appearance of scars caused by chicken pox. I hear vit e oil is good quite a few times, does anyone have any products and/or tips to improving the scarring caused for a toddler?

thanks

Where are the scars? Are the true scars or hyperpigmentation?

They are on his face, the are some Indentations on the forehead and nose.

Hopefully young enough to repair fully. More then process of rubbing anything on that works to increase blood flow etc. bio oil, coconut oil etc

Honestly, I'd just say time. My ds had awful chicken pox when he was 3 - covered head to toe. Picked at his scabs and was left with quite a few scars/indents on his face. He's now 7 and the few that are still there can only be seen if you look really, really closely (and know what you're looking for). I didn't do anything or use anything on them.
