Dark Patch On The Face Where Fractional Laser Treatment Was Done. What To Do?

Hi,quick question.. I had fractional laser about 7 months ago.. Last couple months where my plastic surgeon started & stopped is significantly darker & I have developed a shadow stach. It's embarrassing & I'm at my wits end! I plan on calling him & speaking w him about this but I'm sure he's going to suggest more procedures!! I don't want that. Was doing research & seen this oral medication . Does it work? I also use Rx bleach on my upper lip given by my plastic surgeon & it really does nothing!! Help me please, seriously getting major anxiety & depression over this !!
