I am glad that you were able to find some alternatives to talk with your doctor about. It does seem as though there are some new laser surgeries that have proven success (but are costly, and not covered by insurance).
Please let us know what your doctor says, and what treatments you decide to utilize. we can help you conduct more research on specific laser treatments/surgery if you decide to go this route.

You may be interested in this resources as well; it talks about myths, including that diet can not "cause" acne (in case you receive a suggestion to stay away from chocolate or greasy foods!):
- American Academy of Dermatology (AAD): Acne Net
- American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD): Hyperpigmentation mentions a successful treatment, "The q-switched ruby and other pigmented lesion lasers often remove pigment without scarring."
