Psoriatic patches may resolve with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). I think that is what is concerning you at this stage.
You may apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily for a few days. This would gradually fade them away.
An Oral Vitamin C supplement once daily would also help with faster resolution of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
