Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You have developed an allergic reaction to the bleech.

It will take around 15 days for the skin to recover,

Use a sun screen, it will prevent further darkness.

Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
