Hi and welcome to HCM
Since the spot is a few months old, it will take a longer time to fade.
You can apply a gel of kojic acid over the spot alone, regularly for a month and check for improvement.
make sure to use a sunscreen whenever you go out in the daytime.Another effective option is to try a spot chemical peel at the clinic only over the scar to lighten it, as long as your skin is not sensitive to such chemicals.
Other optionsare Lasers, etc.
Keep in mind that it will take time depending on your skin and its reaction to scarring. Don't try to rub or peel the skin.
Hope this helps you.
