Hi there amhere313. thanks for logging onto HCM. I understand your distress regds the marks. At the outset, please try using an adapalene based cream on the eruptions/acne. Many creams exist for depigmentaion but the gold standard remains 2% or 4% hydroquinone unless you have an allergy to the same. Do visit your local dermatologist for a more detailed asessment & further managment. These things have to be 'seen' to deliver best results. Cheers & good luck
