What Causes Hyperpigmentation, Like Melasma?

Question viewed 814 times

After taking birth control pills and being in the sun I realized I was getting dark patches on my face, I stopped taking the pill, but the dark spots never went away. I just had a VI peel done 9 days ago, it took off what looked like a big layer of skin, it seemed like most of the dark spots were peeling off, so for a moment I thought it would work, but here I am 9 days later and still have the dark patches. I am afraid they really just wont go away. Could it be that inflammation of the skin when its hypersensitive like mine causes the skin to protect itself by pigmenting?
