Hyperpigmentation: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (pih) is a frequently encountered problem and represents the sequelae of various cutaneous disorders as well as therapeutic interventions. This acquired excess of pigment can be attributed to various preceding disease processes that affect the skin such as infections, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries, reactions to medications, phototoxic eruptions, trauma.

After skin peel: Not unusual for skin to darken after skin peel as the top layer separates and then flakes. Follow your post peel skin care regimen and you should see lighter, brighter and smoother skin in about a week.
