Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You have developed post-Inflammatory hyperpigmentation which should resolve in due course of time
You could use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily for a few days. That would make the hyperpigmentation progressively lighter till it vanishes away.
Vit C rich foods OR An Oral Vit C supplement once daily would hasten the resolution.
