Hai, looks like u have an abrasion injury, first better take a course of antibiotics added with painkillers,
U can apply antibiotic creams like mupirocin on the woumd to reduce local infection.
Once the infection is reduced the marks can be taken care of.
It takes normally 3 to 6 weeks for the marks to reduce on its own.
U can apply skin lightening creams containing vitamin A&c.once the skin rashes are dried u can apply ointments containing kojic acid (skin lightening creams).
Take care.good luck
