How To Get Rid Off Insect Bite Scars On Legs?

I am an African American woman. I have had dark insect bite scars on my legs, thighs, lower back, and buttocks from when I was a child I am now 21 years old. I have recently started to remove them with bio oil. I was wondering what other ways can I try to remove these scars?
