How should I treat PIH after a fractional laser treatment 7 weeks ago? Will it go away? (Photo)

Whats really worrying to me, is the appearance of the pigmentation: on the one side of my face spots, on the other side heavy stripes. Is this normal? My dermatologist prescribed me a cream with hydroquinone, but told me to only use it twice a week. It's been 2 weeks now, I don't notice any difference. When will it start working? Is this the right treatment? We are taking a sunny holiday in 7 weeks. Is there any chance that this will dissapear by then? Thank you for answering!
