Patches on skin?


I while back I found a patch on my face. It is round kinda, and is a different color than my skin. I am an african american female, I noticed the patch, at first I thought it was a dry patch so I started using Dove lotion to try 2 get rid of it, but it still hasn't went anywhere. I was in the bathroom cleaning my face and noticed a few more, but not as big, jus different round patches all over my face. I looked it up on the internet and I found something called Melasma, and it showed a pic of a woman that had it and it looks about the same as what's on my face. But it saids it occurs in pregnant woman. I am wondering if this is what could be on my face? What should I do 2 get rid of it? And if so can it occur in women that aren't pregnant? becuz i'm definitely not pregnant, jus had my period lol. But it is starting 2 freak me out and I don't think any of the doctor's offices are open 2moro... so please help!!!

They aren't necessarily round, and they are kinda lightening up my face. U can't really feel anything when I touch where they are. Around the edges of the circles it feels a lil rough like my skin is pealing.

Melasma doesn't necessarily cause round patches, just areas of discoloration and mostly in white women. Yes it occurs in pregnant women but also women on the birth control pill. I would need to know if these patches are raised, scaly, etc. Are the patches lightening your skin or darkening it? I would need more info, but yes a dermo would know for sure what it was.
