Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pigmentation can be treated by application of Azelaic acid cream/gel. Do consult your dermatologist for finding the exact cause for pigmentation.
For scars, do apply Silicone gel/Dimethicone gel on the scars. Faster improvement can be achieved with laser therapy.
