Hi..these brown marks are due to post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. Start using a good sunscreen depending on skin type in the morning time apply it 15 to 20 mins before Sun exposure and re apply after 3 hours all over the face. At the night time use Glyco A cream over the spots which contains glycolic acid and will help in reducing the pigmentation.
