What or the mask of pregnancy is a pigmentation disorder characterized by brownish spots on face?

The mask of pregnancy, also known as melasma or chloasma, is a common skin condition that affects pregnant women. It is characterized by the appearance of dark, brownish spots on the face, particularly on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. The condition is caused by an increase in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Melasma is typically triggered by the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, but it can also be caused by exposure to sunlight, certain medications, and other factors. While the mask of pregnancy usually fades after childbirth, it can sometimes persist for months or even years. Treatment options for melasma include topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion.
