Brief Answer:
Deep scars

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
The scars are deep and need to be surgically corrected.
Procedures like dermaroller and subscision are available to correct these scars.
You need to meet a dermatologist for that.
There are few areas of hyperpigmentation which can be removed using creams.
Just ask for hydroquinone containing cream.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
