Lemon Folk Remedy: It seems as though what you are describing is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or the dark areas of skin after a pimple or skin injury has healed. Lemon juice may take a few weeks, but it can be irritating to the skin. It is acidic, has vitamin c, and some antibiotic properties. Azelaic acid is used to treat acne.
