2. Boundaries: Most of the lesions of melasma have clear boundaries. When the pigmentation is less, the edges are not very clear but are diffusely distributed. There are no scales or infiltration on the surface of melasma, and it is generally not accompanied by other skin diseases such as erythema, papules, etc.

3. Shape: Chloasma varies in size and number. It can form arcuate or multi-ring lesions, distributed in linear or comet-like patterns, and occur symmetrically on the face.

4. Color: Color is a part of the symptoms of melasma. Chloasma usually appears in light brown, gray, or brown-gray colors. In severe cases, chloasma appears as brown-black or even dark blue-gray macules that merge into flaky pigmented spots.

5. Manifestations: Symptoms of chloasma. Chloasma lesions are usually limited to exposed areas of the skin and are distributed on the face, mainly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and may occasionally be accompanied by pigmentation of the areola.
