Extrusion issues after retraction

I'm printing a fairly large piece of plastic, and after a layer is complete, the machine will move the nozzle to the starting place for the next layer. I am noticing that for about 150mm after the new layer is starting, the extruder starts skipping, causing a small area on the final part that has terrible layer density.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

You can see the issue on both of these parts. Notice that the layers are all messed up on the area I'm focused on, but are normal in other areas. This is because this is the area where a new layer begins
