I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of Perioral Melanosis, my treatment advice is:
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a Kojic Acid cream like Kojivit twice daily on the affected skin.
3. Take a vitamin B12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.
