Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

You have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which is a common sequelae of inflammatory acne. You could use a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following ingredients like Azaleic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone etc to gradually fade away the hyperpigmentation.

You can also undergo a few peeling session (glycolic peeling) from a dermatologist

An Oral Vit C once daily would help in hasten up the resolution of hyperpigmentation.

Sun protection and using a gel based sunscreen would hasten the resolution as well as prevent further sun induced darkening.
