Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Seems that you have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after irritation to the home remedy that you used.
If I was your treating doctor I would have advised you to protect it from the sun so as to prevent further darkening. For that you could use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day.
I would suggest you to use elocon cream(mometsone cream) just once daily at night only over the spot.
