What can be done to heal and lighten my skin back to it's original skin color? (Photo)

Brandonhill_5
I scratched my leg with hair clippers while shaving and the cut has turned into a dark spot that peels skin and has spread. My doctor said hydrocortisone is a steroid creme that is not helping due to the lack of skin on my shin. Vaseline/coco butter is not helping and it is still itching.
