The brown spots are called melasma and are a side effect of the birth control pill. It is the estrogen in the pill that causes melasma. A progesterone birth control like the shot (Depoprovera) or the implant (Implanon) should not produce that side effect. Stopping the pill may help the spots fade. Dermatologist may need to be consulted to provide a bleaching prescription.
