Hi,
It may be post inflammatory hypermelanosis. It may be due to blunt trauma you got. Depigmenting cream containing kojic acid may be applied for long time. Take vitamin C tablets and glutathione capsules after consulting the dermatologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
