A member asked:

I am 20 weeks pregnant and have a brown patch developing on my neck. it is very light at the moment but seems like it is darkening a bit. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Melanin/pregnancy: 33yo female with brown patch developing on the neck. Melasma is increased during pregnancy which stimulate increased melanin. The melanin is a natural substance that color the skin, hair and eyes. Thus it is not unusual to have some patch of brown patch and you do not have to do anything. You can show it to your doctor as well.
