hi, thanks for posting your query
you have developed post inflamatory hypopigmentation after injury
this occurs due to damage of pigment cells within the skin
Dont worry ,since this was a superficial damage your skin might regain pigment within 6 weeks approximately
you may apply flutivate cream twice daily for enhanced result
hope this answers your query
