Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
Seems to have developed post-inflammatory hypopigmentation at the site of blister.
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g fluticasone twice daily for 4-8 weeks. Pigment usually returns in about 1-2 months
take care
regards
