What is this dark line across my nose? Is it 'melasma'? (Photo)

chrissiesosa
I had this dark line on my nose when I was about 14 but it disappeared. It came back again when I turned 19. I am now 21 and a lot of people have been questioning it, including my boyfriend, and its getting really embarassing. A co-worker told me its just a dark spot and I read that its called 'mask of preganancy' but I'm not pregant. I need an answer please, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
