You have developed post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. It happens due to excessive melanin synthesis during healing of a wound. Skin lightening creams like the one you are using can provide you temporary relief, however the best treatment is to wait and watch. It may take up to 2 years for complete resolution. Slowly the skin will get lighter and finally match with the remaining skin.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
