Hello,
The skin should not be allowed for long time exposure of the UV rays of the sun without a good sunscreen . The post inflammatory hypopigmentation will go away on its own but it will go off gradually. Otherwise you can talk to a dermatologist about the treatment options mentioned above.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

This white scar on penis should heal in a few days on its own and the color will blend with the surrounding skin. Basically this is post inflammatory hypiopigmentation which is causing this white scar. Creams like Elidel cream or Protropic can be used on these hypopigmented areas but at such a delicate skin it is not advisable to use them . If the symptoms still persist then you can talk to your dermatologist about laser-assisted chemabrasion(LACA).
