A member asked:

When the chin becomes slightly darkened after exfoliating, is it because of dead skin cells popping up? i still flake a few days after exfoliating.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PProbably: You probably have seborrheic dermatitis with postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. See dermatologist to discuss treatment options.
