Pigmentationissues: It is relatively common for newly healing skin to be under pigmented compared to the surrounding skin. This occurs because the activity of the pigment producing melanocytes is one of the last cellular systems to resume normal activity.Many tomes it can take a year or so th resume normal activity.
