Hi
It's quite normal to have hypopigmentation in a burns scar .
As it is a scar tissue the pigmentation takes quite a while but it will get back to normal as it is a small area lesion I suggest u to wait unless u have any cosmetic discomfort
If u want to quicken it u can apply few topical ointments
Next Steps
take a paid consultation for specific prescription

Hypopigmentation frequently happens in deep burns. As it is a fresh burn, tacroz is not advisable. The treatment requires examination and medication.

Kindly book an appointment for telemed.
