Unfortunately you will have some post inflammatory pigmentation which should be treated with experience in your skin type. If you have access to Ultraquin 4% Hydroquinone cream with SPF 20, that would be the best course of action. You should use an additional SPF of 30 plus in conjunction with the Hydroquinone. Best of luck,
