Since your marks are very old, it will take some time to remove the marks. I would advice that you should use a lightening agent like kojic acid and vitamin c combination over the scars. This is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there. Also, try not to touch the area too much use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesion doesn't darken any further take a diet rich in vitamin c and antioxidants like citrus fruits and lots of salads.
