A scar is a result of an injury to the thick layer of skin (the dermis) or the outer layer of skin (the epidermis). Damage to the epidermis is slight, but if the damage is beneath, it gets more complicated.
People with more melanin in their skin will experience more discoloration after scarring. This is where skin whitening creams can help. It won't be miraculous, won't remove the scar, but can help fade the intensity of dark spots. Avoiding the sun will also help prevent the spots from getting darker.
