Can melasma be painful? What should I do?

tryingtofigure
I have melasma on both of my jawlines. It is flat, reddish brown and painful. It's been here for 2 weeks. I saw a dentist and my doctor and they don't know what's going on. I had labs and MRI and they were normal. I'm assuming it's melasma. Can melasma be painful?
