White patch on skin for 9 months.used to be a lot whiter,but has darkened a bit.happened after use of benzoyl peroxide+tretinoin.is this permanent ?

Mgt: At this age, benzoyl peroxide should not be applied. I would suggest using a soap such as Dove soap. Sunscreen lotion should be used during peak sun exposure in particular. It should fade gradually, but if any changes occur, please discuss with your pediatrician.
