I'm not sure what you mean by "more" scars and black marks, but if you have a skin problem that is steadily getting worse, you should visit your doctor at the earliest. Skin problems, like most other health problems, are best treated in the early stages; in the later stages they become more severe and chronic, and are much more difficult to treat. Also, skin problems are extremely difficult to diagnose or treat based on merely a verbal description of the problem. It is necessary to actually see the skin in order to develop a proper understanding of the problem, and it also helps to ask the patient a few questions and find out about their health status, lifestyle, and medical history; only after this can a proper diagnosis be made, and treatment prescribed.

Generally speaking, there isn't really anything that can be done to get rid of a scar that has already appeared. A few home remedies are common recommended to treat this problem, one of which is massaging the area daily with cocoa butter. Similarly, massaging with a mixture of honey and sandalwood powder is also sometimes recommended. However, there is no real proof that these treatments work - in many cases, they have absolutely no effect at all, and in other cases, time alone might have achieved the same effect. Scars do fade with time, and if your scars are small, minor scars, then there is a good chance that they will completely fade within a few years. Large, deep scars, on the other hand, will probably last a life time, and the only way to get rid of them is to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure such as microdermabrasion.

Black marks are of many different types, and your question is just too brief to give any kind of idea as to what is causing these black marks. Pimples often leave spots of hyperpigmentation behind, and although these spots are not usually black, in contrast with normal, healthy skin, they can seem like black spots, and are often confused with scars too. These spots are however temporary, and basic skin care is all that is needed in order to speed up the fading of these spots. This includes hygiene, exfoliation, moisturization, protection from sunlight and pollution, and a healthy diet. Your black marks may also be blackheads, which are basically blocked pores. Here too, regular exfoliation and basic hygiene will help.
