Hi,

I can understand your concern for depigmention after removal of corn. The color change may be post surgery hypomelanosis. There is no need to worry,as the color may become normalised as the time passed. Still,I would recommend you to apply tacrolimus oint. on the hypomelanotic patch to get normal color.

Hope this helps.
