How Can Hyperpigmentation Above The Upper Lip Be Treated?

Hello Doctor, my question is: About 5 years ago I used neet a hair remover over my top lip to remove hair-Im a woman, I had a very bad reaction an the neet broken me out, when my top lip healed it left me with a long line looking like i had a mustache. I ve been to several doctors an was told i had to live like this an there was nothing could be done because I had damaged my skin. I ve had lasers done which made it worst. I read about a procedure called medical tattooing that could bring my color back. Im african american and the color of halle berry. Please if you could respond an thank you you your time Alicia J.
