Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed a post inflammatory hypopigmentation.

The mehandi might have caused reaction leading to inflammation.

This has lead to hypopigmentation.

Treatment can be with steroids.

Oral as well as topical steroids can be used.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
