Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that the wounds that you get on face are pimples and it is common to see dark pigmentation that is post-inflammatory pigmentation after the healing of pimples..
I wuld suggest that if you still have pimples you can apply a combinaion of clindamycin gel and benzoyl peroxide gel over it..
In case if there is only pigmentation you can start washing your face with salicylic and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can aply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Apply Vitamin E gel at night..
You can also use Azelic acid preparations..
You can exfoliate your face twice a week with a gentle face scrub..
You can limit sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
Avoid oily food and drink plenty of water..
Take more of green vegetables in diet..
You can also go for Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
