Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You seem to have developed post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, with repeated picking prolonging the inflammation and wound healing process and thereby leaving behind a mark.
I would suggest that you apply a topical kojic acid based cream, twice daily to lighten it up.
Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen to protect it from further darkening.
An oral Vit C supplement once daily would also help in faster resolution of hyperpigmentation
You could also opt for spot peeling sessions of glycolic peel from a dermatologist for faster resolution
Regards
