One option is to chemically lighten them, and you can do so using a product that you would normally use on your face. Try Murad's Post Acne Lightening Gel.

Unfortunately it is a solution that requires certain upkeep; if you go out in the sun without protection, the darker pigmentation can and most likely will return. I would also caution you not to use this product when pregnant, as the effects of hydroquinone on a fetus is questionable.
