hi Jose.
1. your concern is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to chemical injury.
2. don't worry, it is treatable.
3. you can start using melaglow rich cream along with good moisturiser overnight.
4. start using lashield sunscreen during noon time.
5. have limcee 500 mg chewable tab, thrice daily.
don't go for any sort of laser or chemical procedures until skin gets healed completely.
this may help you.
