Brief Answer:
Triple combination cream & antioxidant capsule

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
You seem to have developed post inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to the wounds.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a cream containing combination of tretinoin, hydroquinone and mometasone on the black spots at night and take antioxidant like capsule antoxid HC or Exerge HC once daily at bedtime for 3-4 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
