How Can I Get Rid of Mosquito Bite Scars on my Legs and Hands? (photo)

beatrice in texas
I have always had sensitive skin and living in Africa i got bitten by a lot of insects especially mosquitoes and when these bites heal they do not vanish but instead turn into dark large spots. I have these very prominent dark spots all over my legs and arms and being fifteen i have never been able to show them in publlc. I am searching for an effective and permanent solution for this. What can i do?
