Its called as post inflammatory scars / hyperpigmentation,
Scars means any pits or depression(atrophic) in the skin surface or elevated (hypertrophic)above the skin .
Hyperpigmentation /black spots - only colour changes in skin otherwise surface is normal.
You need to use skin lightening creams in the night with a sunscreen in the morning must.
So plz send clear photo so that i can tell you accurately what is that wether its scar or black spots or hyperpigmented scar...on that basis only we can suggest you treament or procedure.
Next Steps
