chloasma
Melasma (also known as chloasma faciei,: 854 or the mask of pregnancy when present in pregnant women) is a tan or dark skin discoloration. Melasma is thought to be caused by sun exposure, genetic predisposition, hormone changes, and skin irritation. Although it can affect anyone, it is particularly common in women, especially pregnant women and those who are taking oral or patch contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy medications.

chloasma
Chloasma, also known as melasma, is a common skin condition characterized by the development of brown or gray-brown patches on the face. It is often triggered or worsened by sun exposure, hormonal changes, such as those occurring in pregnancy or with the use of hormonal contraception, and certain medications. Although it can affect anyone, it is more common in women and people with darker skin tones. It is generally harmless, but can cause significant cosmetic concern.
