My baby has this dark marks/ scars from insect bites. How can I lighten them?

You can try these home remedies as suggested by this article: http://smarts-tips.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-to-remove-scars-mosquito-bites-on.html#.Vrq3DRhTMQ0 - Use lemon juice, rub on mosquito bites. Allow 10-15 minutes then rinse with warm water. Repeat 2-3 times a day. Avoid wearing too long because of the high content of vitamin C in the lemon water can irritate baby's skin. - Use lavender oil. Apply at the blackened skin for 15-20 minutes then rinse with water. Repeat 2-3 times a day. - Wear a banana or watermelon skin. Brush in mosquito bites. Let stand for a while and then rinse with cold water. Take advantage of aloe vera gel. Apply it on the skin for several hours. - Grate the yam pieces. Rub the bite marks of mosquito. Let stand until dry and then rinse. - Brewed green tea with warm water 5-10 minutes until dissolved, and then wipes the blackhead mosquito bites.

As baby's skin generates and renews fast, the mark will disappear after few weeks. For me I did nothing about it and the marks faded itself. If you do not want the mark after each mosquito bite, you can teach your kid not to scratch them (lightly pat on it instead) and apply mosquito cream e.g. calendula remedy.
