It's possible, though I have seen that effect on a limited basis with an acquaintance of color who had a wound bandaged for several weeks. The skin around the wound (by then a scar) was quite pale when the bandages were finally removed, and took several more weeks to darken back to match the rest of him.

Might be related to blood flow.
Perhaps blood flow as it relates to keeping the tissues supplied with the necessary nutrients. Starve some part of full flow, it starts to die. To recover means not only restoring the blood flow, but time to heal from the starvation. That slow death is probably what causes the tissues to lighten and develop pallor.
I do love all this canon talk, like Star Trek is some huge religion and a lot of people have their own version of said religion, which all differ to some degree. It's all weird.
It's much easier to just talk about which aspects of all the series and films you like, whilst also acknowledging the duds.
I'm a TOS seasons 1-2 fundamentalist.
