Greetings,
It's important to apply good sunscreen regularly , two to three times a day over face area to prevent sun tanning and also it ll improve marks indirectly .
Secondly, for itching , if dryness is the reason apply good non-comedogenic moisturisers over face. Don't scratch with nails otherwise , u ll get spots.
For acne pigmentation n scar treatment , kindly share your photo so that we can suggest you treatment option according to your skin type .
Many modality of treatment works well like peeling, lasers etc

Hi...
Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water....
Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin...
Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring.
Consult Dermatologist...
