Hi,
It seems that probably you may be having post inflammatory hypomelanosis. It is not the disease,but the after effect of the disease. It may recover without treatment. Still,you may consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would suggest...
-tacrolimus oint to apply on the affected parts
-cap. vitamin E 400 mg daily
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
