Hi,
This is typically melasma which you have developed following inflammation over the same area. If the affected area does not respond to application of creams like tretinoin along with hydroquinone then you can go ahead with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy to lighten the regions but it might require more than a single session to get adequate results.
