Brief Answer:
It can be due to hemochromatosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

You have rashes. Cutaneous hyperpigmentation is very common in hemochromatosis. It is due to pigment deposition. So you may have that kind of rashes or it can be due to some other causes also. It is very difficult to say without examination. But yes it is common in hemochromatosis.

You should go for examination by your treating doctor and plan accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
