What should I do to even out my skin, 17 weeks after Fraxel?

VR_1987
I did 2 fraxel laser treatments for the stretch marks on my butt cheeks. I am of indian descent and have brown skin. The area where the machine ran left the skin very dark. The clinic told me to use hydroquinone 4% but it did not help, then they told me to use retinol. The skin peeled and got darker. I stopped using both products a month ago. The clinic also stopped helping me. It is now 17 wks since my last treatment. Please help me.
