Why is my skin darkening around the mouth after chemical peel? (photo)

marshalinmckay
It have been a week and my skin is slowly peeling but I noticed darken spots on my face and I want to know if they are permanent and how long should it take. It is mostly around the mouth area. It started getting dark this past weekend. I used sunscreen if i had to go outside. It itches and I have been using a blah face wash.
