Usually hemosiderin staining is gone after a year
If it is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can be treated with topical creams. Hemosiderin staining after a very bad bruise will usually fade after a year, but sometimes it can take another six months. See a cosmetically savvy dermatologist or other cosmetic specialist.
