Hi

You seem to have developed pigmented skin scars.
First of all , I would like to tell you that in most cases, these scars tend to decrease with time.
You can start application of a topical skin lightening agent like kojic acid over the scars twice a day. Do not apply any other cream or oil over it.
Do not touch or scratch the lesions too much.
Take oral vitamin c supplements along once a day .
Take a diet rich in fresh fruits and salads . Include more of citrus fruits in your diet.

Hope it helps
