Dark Spots on Skin and a Scar

[Adit]

I have quite a few dark, brown spots on my skin from insect bites. They have been there for about a year. Is there anything I can do to remove these spots?

I also have a flattened, red-colored scar on my back. Is there anything I can do to reduce the size and color on the scar?

Thanks.

If the spots have been there for a year, they may be permanent, unless you've soemtimes irritated them, which can keep them from fading.  If you do irritate or rub them, stopping may be all you need to do.

You will need to show these spots to a skin doctor.  There may be tretaments--creams, lasers--which can help, but someone will need to take a look to be sure.

Best.
