Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I think we are dealing with Nevus of Ota, which results due to lack of migration of dermal melanocytes therefore resulting in bluish black patch of skin discoloration in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve.

Laser is the only treatment for it. Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser is commonly used for dermal melanocytic lesions like Nevus of ota

I would advice that you consult a Dermatologist with Good laser experience in these kinds of lesions.

The risks of laser surgery include transient hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, slight scarring, and recurrence.

Regards
