Chemical burns can lead to pigmentation, which can be corrected by topical creams such as Melarase used twice daily. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Please seek a consultation with a local Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist ASAP. It is possible that this will improve with time and local wound care. However, if there is a major issue with your wound they might recommend a more aggressive treatment regimen to avoid further scarring. I hope this information is helpful.
