Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You may benefit from lightening creams containing kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice and niacinamide. Also use a sunscreen every 4 hours on exposed parts. Cover your exposed parts especially towards evening to prevent further mosquito bites. Glycolic acid peels, done once in 2-3 weeks for about 6-8 times may also help to lighten the spots.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
