Hi,
It may be posted laser therapy melanosis. So, consult the expert dermatologist for the perfect treatment. Do not apply hydroquinone cream which is notoriously toxic and may worsen the condition of your skin. Kojic acid-containing gel may be applied if really you need.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
