hi
You seem to have developed post burn hyperpigmented marks over your face
I would advice that you use some kind of a lightening agent like kojic acid and vitamin c combination over the scar,,this is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there.. Also ,try not to touch the area too much ...use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesion doesn't darken any further....and take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads
If inspite of all these measures, you feel that the pigmentation continues to persisit, then i would advise you to see a dermatologist who might be able to help you with other techniques like chemical peels, dermabrasion , lasers etc
Hope it helps
