What should be used to treat old mosquito bite scars? I have many all over my hands and legs. I tried rubbing lemon, but it didn't work. Does Mederma work? Please suggest what should I do. I want to get rid of these scars fast.

Mosquito bites shouldn't leave you with scars (pits) until they are getting infected because of scratches, harsh soap or too much lemon usage. Marks if recent and not scratched should go in 2-3 days. If you are having black marks being left behind and they are staying more than 3 weeks; consult a dermatologist.
