I would discuss options for co2 laser or scar excision with your treating physician.  Many of these TCA treatments are sold online and should be discouraged because of the risks. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

If this is recent, I would wait a few months before seeing what happens. If it is a old spot, I would try Latisse to see if pigment can return, the other trick is to fade the surrounding skin with laser, so that the white spot is not so obvious. I would like to try to get pigment back before laser. Another option is cosmetic tattooing, however the colour match has to be exact- very difficult, and if you tan, there will be colour changes. A difficult problem to solve, but Im sure we can improve thingsRegardsDr Davin LimLaser and Cosmetic DermatologistBRISBANE, Australia
