[Skin Concerns] Dark, scaly/rough spot after acne: hasn't gone away after a year!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Usually after a bad breakout I get mild PIH, which goes away in a few weeks (I use hydroquinone as prescribed by my derm). However, I got one especially bad cyst about a year ago that left a dark, scaly spot that still hasn't healed. I've been using hydroquinone on it like crazy (as well as benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin gel to prevent breakouts), but it's not lightening or getting better at all. The spot/patch feels rough and scaly, and it's much tougher/flakier than the surrounding normal skin. Sometimes it peels a bit.My derm has told me to just leave it alone, but it isn't getting any better and it just destroys my self esteem when people comment on it :/ What is it? How can I get rid of it? It's not getting any bigger, by the way,.
