Hyperpigmentation: This is likely hyper pigmentation due to folliculitis/ingrown hairs. When you shave, be sure to use shaving cream & only shave in the direction of hair growth, so you don't cut them off so short (decreases the risk of ingrown hairs.) Also, exfoliate well on non-shave days to help prevent. If it persists and/or happens often talk with your doctor about a topical antibiotic ointment to treat it
