I am a brown skin person i have scars caused by mosquito how can i remove them naturally?

Time: Sometimes even the smallest bite will result in a dark spot that may take months or years to go away. Usually these are not true "scars" which are thick and firm. Avoiding bites is important, and not scratching is key. Silicone gel may help with scars, while bleaching creams can help lighten the skin. Topical kojic acid and vitamin c are some natural remedies that may help some.

Time: If by "scars "you mean pigmented areas , they will usually lighten in time[perhaps 2 years]. Faster resolution may be achieved using a "bleaching " routine prescribed by your plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
