I Have Developed Dark Pigments on my Upper Lip, Where I Had Laser Hair Removal. What Do I Do?

Asked By:konashane

I had laser hair removal on my upper lip a few years ago. About a month ago, the skin above my upper lip became darker, and now is "tanned" in the areas where I had the laser. I wear sunscreen everyday (100spf), but it is not fading. As you can imagine, it is quite embarrassing. What can I do?
