Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You seem to have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and post-acne scar erythema. While erythema of scars would resolve gradually, for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, you could use a topical skin lightening agent e.g kojic acid or hydroquinone or azaleic acid.
Apply a thin layer over the affected area twice daily.
Also use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day.
