Not vitiligo

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Dont worry it's not vitiligo.
This is called as post inflammatory hypo pigmentation.
I treat such cases with melgain lotion (decapeptide).
It gives good results within a month.
You can try this in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
