I'm really worried because I've been dealing with Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis, and it just seems to be getting worse over time. Have you seen cases like this before and are there any treatments that actually work?

I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

Aquaphor healing ointment is advised for local application for 1 week once daily , any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
