Dark skin after it peeled? (picture)?


Question:
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?

Answers:
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.
It may be bruised.
yeah it coul'd be bruised
