Garlic burned my skin, skin has healed but has left a noticeable white spot on brown skin. will it ever go back to normal and how long will it take?

Decreased pigment: Decreased pigment is common after superficial inflammation. It can take over a year to fill in. If it bothers you or is important to your job, you can cover it with makeup.
