Brown pigment spots, usually on the face, caused either by birth control pills or hormones produced naturally during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
The presence of brown spots on the skin from various causes.<\/p>\n
Permanent or transient tan or brownish pigmentation, esp. of the face, associated with pregnancy or the use of oral contraceptives; also called mask of pregnancy; melasma.<\/p>\n
Skin condition associated with pregnancy due to melanocyte-stimulating hormone, characterized by dark hyperpigmentation of the face and a line on the abdomen from pubis to umbilicus called linea nigra.<\/p>\n
Temporary discoloration of facial skin during pregnancy or while taking hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal changes cause darkening of patches of the skin over the forehead on the bridge of the nose and on the cheekbones, generally after 16 weeks of pregnancy. The discoloration is intensified by exposure to sunlight and is most marked on women with dark complexions.<\/p>\n
The appearance of brown patches, up to several centimeters in diameter, mainly on the forehead, temples, and cheeks. It is due to a localized increase in the dark pigment melanin and occurs sometimes in pregnancy (when the nipples also turn brown), as well as during the menopause. Women taking the contraceptive pill may also develop chloasma.<\/p>\n
This is an increase in the melanin pigment of the skin as a result of hormonal stimulation. It is commonly seen in pregnancy and sometimes in women on the contraceptive pill. It mainly affects the face.<\/p>\n
Tan to brown, sharply defined patches of skin pigment, usually found symmetrically on the forehead, temples, cheeks, or upper lip. The excess pigmentation often occurs in pregnant women, in women using oral contraceptives, or in patients with underlying liver disease. Women are affected more often than men. Sun exposure tends to worsen the condition.<\/p>\n
Condition characterized by hyperpigmentation on the skin in spots that are not elevated.<\/p>\n
During pregnancy, a prevalent occurrence manifests in the form of a skin discoloration, commonly referred to as the “mask of pregnancy” or melasma. This condition gives rise to patches of pale brown pigmentation that emerge on the facial region. These blotches, often influenced by hormonal fluctuations, tend to surface on the forehead, cheeks, and nose, occasionally merging into a singular darkened mask. While this discoloration generally fades gradually after childbirth, it may persist permanently or reappear in subsequent pregnancies. Additionally, some women may notice the darkening of a vertical line that extends from the upper to the lower abdomen, known as the linea nigra.<\/p>\n
Melasma, also known as a dermatological condition, manifests as patches of light brown discoloration on the facial skin, specifically prominent on the forehead, nose, and cheeks. This particular affliction becomes more aggravated upon exposure to sunlight. Chloasma, a variant of melasma, occasionally emerges during the period of pregnancy. It is less common but can also be linked to menopause or the utilization of oral contraceptives. The regions exhibiting abnormal pigmentation generally diminish over time, although there is a possibility of recurrence.<\/p>\n
A medical condition characterized by the deposition of pigment in the skin, resulting in patches of varying shapes and sizes, and colors ranging from yellow, brown, to black. It is frequently linked to an underlying disorder of the endocrine glands.<\/p>\n
