Brief Answer:
Possibility of Melasma
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Perhaps you have Melasma. It presents as XXXXXXX to brown patches on sun exposed prominences of facial skin like cheeks, nose, upper lip and chin. Pregnancy is a common time when females may develop melasma due to hormonal changes. I request you to kindly upload images of the affected area in "Reports Section" so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.
Hope to assist you further once I get the images.
