Brief Answer:
Lobate and sunscreen

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
These patches are post inflammatory hyper pigmentation due to chemical burn.
Lobate is a strong steroid and is helpful in such conditions.
Apply Lobate in night and a sunscreen with spf 50 in day.
This will prevent further pigmentation.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Hello
The normal skin turnover is 28 days. It means in 28 days new skin appears and old us shed off.
Hence it may take around same time for this patch to disappear. Let me know if you have any other doubts.
