How long should chicken pox scars stay?

I had chicken pox last year and i still have scars. I try to drink 8 cups of water a day and i put oils (cocoa butter, scarzone etc). I also have these weird bumps that appeared after my chicken pox lesions were gone. They look like chicken pox but aren't itchy or anything. They are really weird and i want to get rid of them.

1. If you scratched your chicken pox you will have those scars for life.I still have a few on my stomach and I had mine when I was 4 and am now 46.
2. theyre prob permanent. i have a little indent right in the middle of my forehead from the chicen pox i got got when i was in grade 2 and im 18 now.
3. In general, any scars that persist more than 6 months after the wound heals are permanent. They still tend to improve for many years... but very slowly, and only incompletely. -ENT MD x30y
4. I had chicken pox when I was 9. I still have scars and I'm 30.
