Suggest Remedy For Hypopigmentation From Skin Burn

My 8-year-old daughter suffered second degree burns from boiling water 22 days ago. Though the areas seem to have healed they re hypopigmented. Is there any cream I could use to help the hypopigmentation as the burn is still in its early stages and the skin is still active?
