Hypopigmentation after laser burns?
I had laser 10 days ago and i was burned and had semi circle burns which turned brown and now the majority has peeled away. But the areas which has peeled away has now left me with different coloured skin compared to the rest of the area. Its a lot whiter.
Will this be permanent? Can I use any creams to help? I have been using vitamin E oil. I'm going away in 2.5 weeks and do you think some sun exposure will help to balance the 2 skin colours out or will it make it worse?
