Looking like a dark stain of the skin, it can be speckled or confluent. The cheeks, the upper lip, the chin, and the forehead are the most common locations, but it can occasionally occur in other sun-exposed locations. Chloasma is a synonymous term sometimes used to describe the occurrence of melasma during pregnancy. Melasma is also a complication of hormone replacement therapy or from birth control pills.
