Dark skin after it peeled? (picture)?

Part of my skin peeled on my hand after I fell and my hand scraped against a corner of a wooden door. It didn't bleed. For a couple days it was red and kind of swollen and now it's darker than my skin color and it almost feels kind of scaly?! It almost looks like a birthmark. here is a picture:

sorry the quality is kind of bad because it was with my camera phone





Why does it look like this?


Is it always going to stay dark like this?

Try using skin cream to soften the skin. Cream is better than lotion . Lotion can actually dry skin because of the alcohol they put in it.
Reply:Dry skin is scaly, cream softens the skin. Give it time . Report It
