Hi!! This happened because of trauma caused by pulling of hair from the roots. Avoid using soap on this area and use a good moisturizing cream over the area frequently and liberally. Along with this use a mild steroid like cortisone on the affected area twice daily. This will help in resolving your redness as well as dark areas..Wish you speedy recovery.
