Lighter pigment from herpes scabs

I had my first gential herpes outbreak at the beginning for this month. Now the scabs have all come off and there is no difference in feeling in the area of the outbreak(right testicle and right side of penis). But you can see lighter skin color were the scabs were, it is especially noticeable on the penis(no hair).

Am I stuck with this obvious looking issue or should the color come back and be mostly unnoticable??
