What can be done to minimize hypopigmentation 1 year after burn? (photos)

Kellyiris604
A year ago,I burnt myself with a curling iron.In the 1st pic,it was a month after the incident,and the 2nd pic is recent.It has gotten better over the year at not standing out as much,but hard to tell since the 1st pic I was tanner than now which causes more contrast.Ive tried many things to help with this, most recently being a UVB wand.im looking for advice on anything that could help,product or procedure wise.Im hoping to possibly see a derm for the 1st time to help,if its not a lost cause.
