This usually happens to new clownfish hosting a coral or anenome. With proper nutrition and good water conditons this should heal fast. This is not a disease per say, just a change in the pigment from stimulus, usually a stinging cell coral or anenome.

Hyper-Melaninization is basically scar tissue from anenome stings. Most clowns get them. It is nothing to be concerned about.
