Scar under lips. How can I go about getting this removed? (Photo)

Hello, throughout my childhood I had lip lickers dermatitis. Probably from the ages 8 to 17 years old before I managed to get it under control. As a result I have a permanent shadow under my lips. I was wondering how to go about getting this removed and have it be the same shade as the rest of my face. It is really more apparent when I smile. I am a black woman, so I am not sure how laser would be on my skin tone. Thank you
