Skin dis-coloration after ringworm

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I wear a locket with a fabric thread around my neck. I didn't take it off while having a bath, so it would always get wet. Then it caused kind of a ringworm. I used medication and it has healed. But the skin in that area still looks much darker in color compared to my normal skin color. What can I do to get my original skin color back?
