It is usually a sign of ageing of the skin and need not be treated unless cosmetic outcome is the concern. There are multiple options to treat it can should be discussed in person. You have already done the biopsy and it has confirmed the clinical suspicion. Unless you are not oriented cosmetically, you may have a routine skin check up , may be once a year or so.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
