Possibly temporary: Post-inflammatory pigmentation (browning of an area that has been inflamed) tends to decrease slowly, sometimes taking several months for skin to look its previous color. In some cases, there is permanent color change. Chances are reduced by actions to prevent further inflammation, such as avoiding direct contact with irritants (eg cleaning fluids), treating eczema, seeing doc for skin problems.
