Proper wound dressing would have avoided the scar formation. If the herpes got completely cured, then kindly apply, silicone gel on the scars, and also lil. Phototherapy,can also reduce the  hypo pigmentation. Kindly consult the doctor directly or via online consultation or visit the near by clinic. Thank you.
