Is Hyperpigmentation After Chemical Peel Common?

Lanette H
After 4 weeks from a medium Chemical Peel, I'm starting to get large brownish, grayish spots all over my face. I've done everything including using sunscreen that my doctor has recommended. Is this common? What can be done? I feel like I've defeated my purpose.
