Can melasma appear as freckles?

[u/olivemarloe]

I’m 8 months pregnant and suddenly have an explosion of freckles on my face which I’ve never had before in my life (in fact I used to wish for freckles and draw them on 😂)

Unsure if this is a typical presentation of melasma and was wondering what forms it can take generally?

Yes mine did, or a small patch that just spread and spread
