I have weak chin causing skin irregularity. What is happening that causes my skin to darken and dip in that area?

I have a small chin and jaw. The photos I provides are of me with my mouth shut and at rest. I have an overbite and am considering a chin implant to balance my features and because jaw surgery isn't affordable for me. Problem is that I'm getting skin darkening and irritation along one area that would be considered my DAO or marionette line. I also have a dimple like knotch that shows up when I purse my lips (which is often). What is happening that causes my skin to darken and dip in that area?
