How to Remove Dark Spot from Silver Piercing?

I had a nose piercing and unfortunately made the mistake of wearing silver stud. It oxidized and now that I've taken out the ring, there is a dark spot. I believe it is argyria. I tried using hydroquinone to remove the spot, but to no avail.

Are there other options, topical or surgical that I can do? Thanks in advance.

Spot on nose

 You might try a laser to lighten the spot.  Depending upon the color, there are several different lasers that can treat this area rather well.
