I have several spots like this on my face (this one is my forehead). I thought it was Melasma but recently had a dermal neurofibroma removed from my back (appeared in the last year). I also have inguinal freckling which I've had ever since I can remember. After reading about Neurofibromatosis, I'm starting to wonder if what I thought was Melasma is actually Cafe Au Lait spots. These spots have gotten worse over time. I also had some nerve pain in my hands and feet not too long ago.
