There are various causes for facial hyper pigmentation. Also the face and neck darkening is commongly seen with acanthosis nigricans, which is due to abnormal sugar control. It is possible this was triggered post pregnancy. Apart from this there was several other possible causes which need to be ruled out. A thorough examination and some investigations might be needed to accurately ascertain the cause . Hope this was helpful.
