I have pigmentation loss on my face from a chemical burn using a face wash, i used it for 2 months and gradually my skin got lighter in certain areas, im going to see a dermatologist but what can i use to help the pigment return?

Sometimes what looks like lighter patches of skin may actually just be dry areas. Try using an oil free moisturizer for a few days to see if that changes the appearance of the skin. If the areas are truly depigmenting, there may be additional causes such as fungal infection. At that point you should seek help from a dermatologist.
