Hi, folks. My sister is pregnant and she gained some dark colored changes on her parts of the skin that are sun exposed. Her doctor said it was called melasma. I would like to know how this condition is related to pregnancy. I would really appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance.

Hi. You shouldn't worry. Melasma is very often related to pregnancy. It represents dark coloration on the face. It is related to the levels of hormones – estrogen and progesterone. It can also appear with women who take oral contraceptive pills or hormone replacement therapy during menopause. The exact cause is unknown. It is related to sun exposure and hormone levels. Some injuries or irritation may worsen melasma. Your sister should talk to her doctor. Bye!
