You can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a scar-reducing gel like Contractubex can also help in reducing the appearance of the holes. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the products for best results.
