Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the dark skin discoloration after treatment of rash indicates possible melanin hyper-pigmentation underneath the healed regions of rashes. However, better evaluation with the photo pics of the area of discoloration is highly recommended for further guidelines. For time being approach, an application of Calamine lotion and vitamin E containing cream on alternate basis 3 times a day can give better outcome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
