Brief Answer:
Regarding treatment of pigmentation
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common complication of tinea/ fungal infection. If your fungal infection has resolved completely, you may now start using a kojic acid cream e.g Kojic cream, twice daily for a few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance

Thanks for your quick response.
Can i use Demelan cream ? I already have that.
Also, how to double confirm that I don't have Fungal infection left. I can tell you that i don't have itching and Mark is also not reddish as it was earlier.
