Post inflammatory da: Occasionally people with dark skin in good pigment, will actually show increasing darkness if their skin gets here Irritated. This is called postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, And anything like a retinoid with your Irritated skin should be eliminated now. It is also important to treat for the darkness, but you may need to deal with your complexion problem first.
