May i know if it's to possible to heal stubborn brown scars left behind by insect bites, itch, friction? is there any home remedies? thank you.

Possible: but depends on whether the site has been deeply scratched or infected or not. Most bite scar will resolve with time (weeks or months). Bleaching agent (not your laundry bleach) may reduce the pigment but it is best to leave it alone.
