Dear Latha,
Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
As per your query it would be very much required to know how long back was the injury and how long it took to heal. are u using short dresses or do you keep your legs covered. you might need a combination of treatment cremes to get rid of your problem completely or partially depending upon the above factors. i would suggest you post some pictures to your plastic surgeon or a dermatologist with special interest in cosmetology for getting the right treatment

hello
welcome to health care magic
to get rid from scar mark from injury there are lot of home based remedy like cucumber juice its very effective in treating spots of any kind. You can also add some drops of lemon juice to this in order to make it a more effective treatment. This should be applied on the spots and left to dry.Slice pieces of cucumber and apply it on the spots. This works well with raw potato slices too. You can also peel and grate a raw potato and squeeze it to extract the juice.
You can also mix some sandalwood powder with a little rose water and apply this on your spots.
i hope this will help u out.if not than consult dermatologist.
good luck
