Post inflammatory: Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common and normal response during the healing process.  When traumatized skin heals, redness, followed by dark discoloration often occurs.  With time, the site will usually resume normal coloration to match the surrounding skin.  Normalization may happen faster with good skin care with hypoallergenic washes and moisturizers.

Dr. can examine skin: Skin rashes are hard to describe with words. A rash that looks worrisome, lasts more than a few days, or keeps recurring should be examined by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist. A doctor can start treatment, or he can do additional testing if the diagnosis is uncertain. Face rashes include acne, allergic reactions, rosacea, seborrhea, etc.. Sometimes, internal disease can cause a face rash.
