Hyperpigmintation from 5 Fluorouracil

I am using 5 Fluorouracil cream since 2 months as a local therapy for hypertrophic scar of my doughter (2 years old). the scar is now 10 months old and it is located in the posterior aspect of her right arm. There is a resonable improving but hyperpigmintation at the periphery of the scar starts to appear.

I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS:
1- Is this hyperpigmintation reversible?
2- Can this hyperpigmintation be avoided?
3- How long we can continue using 5 Fluorouracil cream?

Best regards,
