Hyperpigmentation: Sounds like the bleach caused an irritation, which can lead to temporary darkening (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) especially in darker skinned individuals. Protect the area from sun exposure and give it time to resolve.

Bruise or hematoma?: If it's recent, the colors make it sound like a resolving hematoma or bruise. If it is still present after a month, you should see a dermatologist.

Laser hair removal: Shaving bumps are usually caused when curly hair starts to grow and ends up piercing the skin, causing irritation. The best way to get rid of the problem completely is to destroy the hair follicle with laser hair removal.
