Preventing scarring / PIH after bug bites? (Photo)

Resourceful156258
Hi - I’m prone to PIH & have scarred from big bites in the past. I just got 40+ bug bites on my legs. It’s been 5 days since, and from the2nd day have been applying steroid cream triamcinolome & taking Claritin. I’m wondering specifically when I can start applying products to help lighten the color. I bought a product with niacinimide and tranexamate acid in it. Also kojic soap. I might try hydroquinone if those don’t fade it. Also what time frame would I look at laser solutions if need?
