post burn pigmentation is bound to occur especially in sun exposed areas.Luckily yours is a very small area of concern.Usuall 3-6 months is the time specified for the pigmentation to stabilise depending upon th edept of the burns.Deep burn scars and remains light superfiical burn usually darkens and stays as a patch anyway best prevention is avoiding sunlight and using sunblocks with SPF 30.Around three months it is better to start Vit C creams and mild acids-Kojic acid creams at night.
