More information is needed. What kind of peel did you do at home? Was this product purchased from a verified source? In-home peeling agents are very risky. There are a lot of products being sold on the internet that can leave you with harmful side effects like what have in the picture you posted. Peeling products should be administered by a professional. For darker skin types, I also recommend that the area be prepped with a skin care product that reduces the chances of hyperpigmentation for 2-4 weeks prior to any peel. I would go to a dermatologist or other medical professional and have them look at the area. They can prescribe a product with hydroquinone or another lightening agent to help with the darkening.
