Hello! :)
I have a huge problem, I'm 20 years old and had smallpox as a child but the scars on my face are still left(2 Huge scars on my Nose and 1 on my Forehead).
As you can imagine those scars look kinda ,,disgusting"- at least for me it is really depressing and makes me sad everytime I see myself in the mirror.
Now to my question is, how can I get rid of these scars?, can I even get rid of it? I know I got these scars since I'm a child but it's really hurting my self esteem but I really want it to get treated :/
Thanks for every help I can get from you guys :)

Go see a dermatologist.
Laser treatment or possibly a DEEP facial peel.
Hope you got money because insurance won't cover cosmetic procedures.

Than how do you explain my scars on the Face?, I got smallpox as a child, and many other People too 10-20 years ago
What country are you from? Do you mean varicelle?
Unless you were born in the 1800s and cryogenically frozen until fairly recently, you didn't have smallpox. You probably had chicken pox, which hasn't been eradicated for several decades unlike smallpox.

you're talking about chicken pox, smallpox is an extremely dangerous and deadly disease that was eradicated through vaccination in the 1960s and 70s. Prior to that it was estimated that throughout the 1950s it cased upwards of 2 million deaths every single year, and throughout the entirety of the 19th century it may have killed as many as 500,000,000 people, mostly young children.
Go see a dermatologist. They'll give you a laser treatment of some sort most likely, or some sort of peel.
If you can't do that, a significantly longer and more long term procedure you could do at home is using a dermaroller and some retinol cream regularly.
