Hi,
For hyperpigmented scar I would suggest you to use Silicon gel sheets since they are very effective in treatment of hyperpigmented scars.
I would still advice you to visit a plastic surgeon to see the size of the scar and to see whether it is a hypertrophic scar or a keloid in which case the treatment line would be a bit different..
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
