I posted about my stomach a month ago. Since then, my scabs have fallen off, and now there are some brown and red dots on my skin. Is it a burn or just hyperpigmentation?
the brown spots are hyperpigmentation
Is there anything I should worry about my skin?

not that I can see. Those are tough course hairs, but the area on the lower stomach makes surprisingly quick progress when treated regularly.
The skin should return to normal in time. Watch for results. If you see a decline in quantity and quality than this temporary reaction is fine. Alway, the test of good work is that you are not feeling the hairs being removed.
I don’t know if it’s hyperpigmentation or not, that’s worrying.
This is hyperpigmentation and is mostly unavoidable with your skin type. PIH heals with time but it’s a long process. Once you’re done with your treatments you can try a chemical peel to speed up PIH healing. The best you can do now is not expose the area to sunlight.
