What is the best way to lighten or remove my scar that I’ve had for over 5 years? (Photo)

When I was 12 I got a burn from a flat iron on my neck. Because I was careless and young I didn’t protect my neck from the sun which made my scar worse and darken over time leading to hyperpigmentation. I’m wondering if there is any treatment to heal my scar and make it lighter or dissolve.
