Dark scars from insect bites can be improved with a combination at-home kit that includes Exfolase cream and Luminase cream. Together, the combination can reduce abnormal pigmentation.

From what you describe, the lesions might not be scars at all.  Many people develop firm brownish to purple growths in response to minor trauma such as an insect bite.  These growths are called dermatofibromas.  The lesions are not only raised above the skin but also have a deeper component.  The only truly effective method of treatment is to surgically excise them.  in general the length of a surgical scar is three times the width of the lesion that is being excised.  For some people the trade off isn't worth it.
