It probably is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. That means some skin lesion heals with pigmentation. However to be sure of the diagnosis and for further treatment seek consultation from a dermatologist. Continue moisturiser, wear sunscreen daily and use mild soap free cleanser to prevent further dryness. Avoid self medication with skin lightening creams on your own regards as they may contain steroids. Warm regards, Dr Pinanky Jadhav, Pune
