Hi

I completely understand your concern and I hope I am able to help you for the same.
Since these are dark areas, 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 or rub the area too much.

Take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads



Hope it helps
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
