To remove the hole-type patches you are describing, you will have to follow some remedies on a regular basis for at least 6 months to a year. This kind of treatment takes a long time to show appropriate results, so remember that you have to be patient. It is also important that you keep in mind that though you may try, sometimes it is not possible to completely remove these marks short of using surgery. It is certainly possible to lighten them to some degree. They can occasionally be leveled as well, but still, they may not always go away.
A lot of your treatment would also depend upon your skin type. Since you have not mentioned what skin type you have, we will assume that you have normal skin and suggest remedial measures accordingly. The other thing that has to be taken into account is the duration of time the scar has been around. Your scars are already more than five years old, and this makes your chances of getting completely rid of them very slim. One of the best ways to work towards continually lightening scars is to regularly exfoliate your skin. You can use a paste-like mixture of sugar crystals and olive oil to scrub your face. Scrub well till the sugar crystals dissolve and then wash with warm water. This routine would have to be followed once a week till you start noticing that your skin is beginning to somewhat even out.
You can use silicone sheets or gel to get rid of scars. They are known to help in leveling uneven skin scars to an extent. Keep in mind that this product is not easily available and may have to be ordered online or bought on special order. It may also be inordinately expensive. But you should also make a note of the fact that this method will help to level out your patchiness to a large extent. There are also some simple methods that can be used to even out your skin color, so that the patches do not stand out in stark relief. Apply a mix of lime juice and yogurt and apply it to your patches. You can also scrub your face out with coarse sandalwood powder and rose water to get rid of the patchiness. But this will take a long time, so be patient and do not give up. Make it a rule to apply sunscreen to your face all the time, to avoid further patchiness or darkening.
