[Skin Concerns] Post-inflammatory hypopigmentation after small wound - experiences

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone,Got a wound a 3 months ago while riding my bike. Honestly, the wound was not so deep, and I have had worse. It is recovering nicely but it has a whiter tone now. I've checked with my dermatologist and she was very direct saying it would not recover the original tone as it lost the cells producing melanin. I have read that post-inflammatory hypopigmentation can go away, and given the wound size and severity I am finding it hard to believe it would not. The doctor reluctantly advised Vitex gel to try and improve but without many hopes it would help.Here is a pic:​https://preview.redd.it/jiygw0grwjv71.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9252ac9442c08c7b50e6a963bb55024799cf83b2Also worth mentioning I am slightly tanned and the current hypo-pigmented color is definitely more my original tone. Avoided sunlight on the wound while it was healing.Anyone else had a similar experience? Is it harmful at all to try Vitex?Thanks
