upper lip hyperpigmentation help!

I am having an issue with upper lip dark pigmentation. It began just after I delivered my daughter last year. It has worsened though since the summer has began and having been swimming/in the sun alot. I have medium-olive skin and tan easily. I am becoming quite concerned though because several people close to me have mentioned that it looks like I have a mustache. There is no hair there though, it's just the hyperpigmentation. Does anyone have experience with any products for this? I have read that Hydroquinone will help but have also read that it may be a carcinogen. I am looking at a few different skin brightening products but just don't know where to begin. I really hate to see a dermatologist unless absolutely necessary.
