Hi

You seem to be worried because of pigmented scars over your face.

You can start using something like a kojic acid cream over the affected areas twice a day. This is a mild harmless lightening agent .

Use a sunscreen lotion with spf more than 26 over your face regularly every time before going out in the sun. Apply it atleast 30 minutes before going out. This will prevent any further darkening of the skin lesions.
Eat a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
Eat citrus fruits.
Take oral vitamin c supplementation.

Hope it helps,

Dr Geetika Paul
