Scars require treatment according to depth and size. LASER therapy or medically proven skin lightening creams will help . Please do online consultation or visit a plastic surgeon near u for proper assessment

Pigmentation can be at different depths,use creams based gycolic acid or kojic acid etc in the night to lighten along with sunscreen application in the morning.But it's always better to get your skin examined by a dermatologist in person to understand the concentration required.
