What Is Prognosis For Eczema?

I have eczema on my butt cheeks, both side and it has caused my skin to decolorize forming a very huge dark patch. I was wondering is there any remedy to lighten up my skin? Or How long will the recovery period take for my normal skin to grow? or Is It a scar?

Hi,

It is a postinflammatory hypermelanosis. It may go away gradually without treatment. However, you may apply vitamin E and aloevera cream on affected parts. Take vitamin C 1000 mg tab daily.

Thanks..
