How Can Hyperpigmentation On The Lower Lip Be Treated?

I ve used an expired ChapStick and my bottom lip has turned mostly black. I ve been to the dermatologist and she swabbed my lip and it came back as heavy growth serratia marscescens. Ive been prescribed gentamicin lotion which is resistant and now ciproflaxicin pills. I ve been taking them for a couple days now I doubt they will change anything. What is my next option if any or am I stuck with a black bottom lip?
