It is because you didn't do proper treatment at time. It has not went deeper. Coconut oil is not a medicine. It is better take proper treatment by Consulting. Don't take it otherwise but it is for your own good. Never experiment.

I think nothing should be done except proper hygeine washing with water using nonmedicated soap. I am sure soon skin shall resume its normal colour and texture. Best wishes
