Greetings! Once the wounds are  healed , the pigmentation of the skin tends to lighten over a period of time. There are certain creams and procedures that can be done according to the type of scars and pigmentation which do help in accelerating this process.
Next Steps
Kindly consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Health Tips
It is important to understand that there will be few marks that might still be visible even after the best of treatments.
