Angina Berryz
These darkened spots on the skin, which dermatologists call'post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,' can occur at the site of ahealed or healing inflamed acne lesion. Caused by excessive melaninproduction, this darkening of the skin is a normal reaction when darkskin becomes inflamed, such as after a rash, scratch or pimple.

Inflammation causes the skin to go red as well as stimulates the production of melanin, a pigment molecule that turns areas brown or black. This area of discoloration around acne tends to last longer then the actual acne. Sometimes, it takes months for the color to disappear.
