hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
it look like post trauma depigmentation .
it is like vitiligo but not the same as vitiligo .
you need to apply mild steroid cream over the lesion
better to consult dermatologist
it take more than 6 month to have good result
some surgical treatment is there if not improved by medicine
