I have been using a cream containing glyceric acid, arbutin and kojic acid for 5 days to treat hyperpigmentation around the mouth. I experienced a severe burning sensation last time I applied and washed it off immediately. However, i'm noticing a lighter patch of skin where I applied it, hypopigmentation. Is this permanent or will it go away on its own? I have stopped using the cream after 5 days.

It's normal will go away in few days.. You can start using cream if there is no irritation on applying..
