Brief Answer:
Topical steroid, moisturising cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with application of a moisturising cream 2-3 times in a day for 2 weeks.
This will help in restoring the colour.
Also avoid tight footwear.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
