Yes, it appears that you have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would recommend following up with a medical professional to correct the area. Do not try to correct the area at home.
To formalise some terms- yes, this will result in PIH however at day TWO post peel, the enzymatic effect of TCA peel will result in some pigmentation. PIH as the name suggest is post inflammatory. In this case, inflammation is present histologically but not in the time frame to call this PIH. The argument is mute as you will have at least a 95% chance that PIH will result.

PIH may resolve in 12- 18 months. Take care, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. AU

No, a 30% TCA to extra facial areas will cause delayed healing and dyspigmentation. If you apply 2-3 coats of 30%, you will be back to the start, possibly with scar contractors and more pigmentation disturbance. For now 1. SPF +++ Avoid sun 2. Silicone dressings 3. Titrate retinoid topically 4....
