Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
She has what is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to apply a topical moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily over the spots for 2-3 weeks.
This would gradually make the spots lighter.
