Mary Kay has some products that should help. First of all you want to be on a good skin care routine - cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturize, protects. The Day/Night solution also helps even out skin tone as well as repair scaring, plus protect from sun and free-radicals. They also have other products that even out skin tone. It's a very high quality product, and a little bit goes a really long way, so it costs less than a dollar a day.
Go to www.marykay.com to find a consultant near you. (If you live in the Salt Lake area, you can contact me by clicking on my name above.)

I am so sorry that you went through that. Contact Genesa. Arbonne's products are amazing. They are botanically based, pure, safe, beneficial. They are results oriented and dermatoligist tested. They also have a 45 day money back guarantee. Good luck.

So I don't recall the name of the item, but Clinque has a product that is green (don't worry it blends into skin) but the idea is to diminish the dark areas. Several years ago I had a severe allergic reaction to a medication and as a result my face broke out in these large hive like welts. When they started to heal I went to Macy's Clinique counter and consulted with their rep she tried this product on me and it helped tremendously. I had originally gone to by a foundation to cover up the large splotches. ask at the counter about the green diffussing lotion.

I'm an Avon rep and I got a call yesterday from a customer that ordered Avon Solutions Banishing Cream - Skin Discoloration Improver ($8.50)... the cust is 65 and told me she uses it for age spots, etc. and when I looked online to learn about the product, I saw that lots of people wrote reviews about how well it worked for acne discoloration and they were so pleased with it. Before yesterday, I wouldn't have even known about this product and I don't usually try to plug Avon this way, but if it works for lots of people, then maybe you could give it a try (I've never tried it myself).... you can go to www.youravon.com/esilver if you'd like to check it out - just do a search for "banishing cream" and read the reviews for yourself. If you do decide to order, use coupon code FSANY for free shipping. Good luck!

Go seek the advice of a reputable dermotologist, do not try any other product without a dermotologist recommending something. You could make it worse if you don't. I think they have all sorts of treatment options and peels for you there, but I would very definitely seek the advice of an expert not just someone recommending a product.
