Brown patches

Did anyone get the 'pregnancy mask' on their face when expecting? Pre-pregnancyI used to notice the odd brown patch above my lip which only appeared during the summer months, but when pregnant the 'mask' appeared across my mouth, chin, nose, cheeks, forehead. I felt a bit self-conscious of it but reached for the foundation and didn't worry too much.
After baby it faded a bit, but didn't disappear. Now with the sunny weather it's flared up again. I've tried Fade Out cream but even the one for sensitive skin makes my face go red and itchy.
I wear a total sun block and light foundation on top, but wondered if anyone had had the same thing and if they knew of anything to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Jodee

I have a brown patch as well - and I am 8 months pregnant. I got it about 4 weeks ago when I fell asleep (in what I thought was) the shade.
I have now used sunblock on my face every time. I have read it goes away a few weeks after the birth - I am crossing my fingers.
