Thank you for your question about skin rejuvenation.This will most likely heal in time.In the meantime, moisturize, use protective sunscreen and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation.I hope this helps.

Avoid further damage and do not use bleach again for six months or until the area heals.It can still be residua from a chemical burn and furthermore, hypopigmentation of the skin. Place something like Maderma on the area and use sunscreen when you go out to prevent ongoing damage to the skin.Seek guidance from a dermatologist for further care.
