Hello,
Yes, these spots could be due to excessive sun exposure. These hyper-pigmentation scars will fade away itself over couple of months. If you are really concerned there are certain over the counter creams available which contains hydroquinone that can be used for skin fairness. I suggest you let your dermatologist decide what is best for you and let him be the treating physician as he / she has seen you physically.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
