Any idea what this discolouration could be?

Hey all.

I've noticed this discolouration develop over the last month or so - not sure if the picture does it justice. It doesn't itch or hurt at all, and isn't raised- haven't noticed it elsewhere on my body either!

For context, I'm under dermatology for severe psoriasis and currently have been taking cyclosporine for around 8 months.

I initially thought it might be hyperpigmentation, but I never really had any psoriasis patches in this location.

Any thoughts? I'll be addressing at my next derma appointment in a week either way.

Grateful for any opinions! Obviously not expecting an online diagnosis, but if anyone has had similar and can reassure/educate I'd be grateful!

Possibly Melasma?

Possibly Melasma?

I've just googled and that makes complete sense! Especially as the medication I'm on makes me more sensitive to sunlight. Hopefully that's all it is, thank you!
