Suggest Remedy For Dark Circles On Face Due To The Usage Of Lime

Hi, So I was using natural lime on my face three days ago for acne and some parts of my face got slightly burned and irritated. This was my first time using a lime. I washed it off immediately with cold water and used ice cubes and tea bags to calm it down. After that I used aquaphor ointment and next morning the skin sensation was back to normal. However, I noticed that my front cheeks and upper nose (Where I felt mostly burning) seem to look a bit fairer compared to the rest of the face and I am really worried. or may be it is that I have light dark circles some days and the fairer skin looks more fairer because of the dark circles. is this permanent or temporary? why only this area got the most effect from lime? will the area that is fairer reverse out naturally and if so how long? is it better to get some sunlight as I haven t gone out as long as the sun is out? What else I can do so that my overall skin tone gets even?
