“Dark Patch?”
This week, I have discovered I have a round black patch on my chin. I do not know what it is. It hurts when I rub it really hard it hurts.

Hi,
Did you try a chemical peel or mask or something new that could have irritated your skin? The discoloration appears to be due to something that irritated your skin. Moisturize well to allow the skin to heal, use gentle cleansers and avoid irritants, and use sunscreen to prevent it from healing with dark pigmentation, especially with the summer weather upon us.

No idea without an exam. I recommend you get an evaluation with a dermatologist.
