The brown spots or patches on both sides of the face, especially on the cheeks, upper lips, nose and chin are called melasma. The distribution is usually symmetrical. Melasma is mainly seen in women of childbearing age.

The colour in melasma darkens during sunlight exposure. Melasma tends to occur during pregnancy and with the use of oral contraceptives.

Melasma may fade after childbirth or discontinuation of oral contraceptives, but it tends to persist.
