Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is common to have pigmentation after fungal infection. Mostly this pigmentation goes away by itself.
You can try one of the following formulations only on dark skin. Sulfur lotion 8% cream or kojivit gel. Keep it applied over affected skin overnight and wash it off in morning. One or two such applications should lighten the skin enough. Avoid prolonged use of these medicines.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
