Is there a procedure to fix the skin after OTC corn treatment? (photos)

I used to have a corn on my toe years ago, and removed it with over-the-counter liquids and patches. Now, the skin where the corn once was is considerably lighter than the rest of my foot. Is there any way this can be fixed?

Thank you for your question. With a history of keloid scars, there is certainly a chance of your ear piercing forming a keloid scar; however, there is also a chance that it will not. I recommend following up with a plastic surgeon if you notice the piercing start to keloid to begin scar treatment.
