Suggest Treatment For Pigmentation Problem On Ankle

Hi, I m a 22 year old female optom, PMH of ecezma, I am of asian decent and therefore tend to scar, recentlly I have discovered on my ankle pigment alterations, they look like bruising.. But do not hurt, nor can I think of any trauma, many have suggested this could have occured due to over exposure to heat from the open fire? What treatments can help even out this pigmentation? Thank you
