Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You have got keloid and post inflammatory hypo pigmentation. Both having koebnarization phenomenon and develops at the site of trauma.
For keloid you need intra lesuinal inj of triamcinolone acetonide.
Apply contactubex cream twice daily over keloid.
For white patch apply tacrolimus ointment and placentrex gel twice daily.
Thanks
