Some scars tend to fade over time, but some become permanent and are difficult to fade or remove which may need to be treated by a dermatologist. Try using an over-the-counter skin lightening cream containing kojic acid or hydroquinone. Apply the lightening cream to the discolorations twice a day for 1-2 months, and make sure to use a sunscreen before going out in the sun. If that doesn't help, consult with a dermatologist for a treatment options.
