Melasma on the Neck?

BrTsr
I am a 50-year-old fair-skinned female and over the last three years I've developed light brown discoloration on the sides of my neck. I've never had any type of brown discoloration on my face other than freckles. I do have rosacea which was successfully treated with IPL. Is it possible to develop melasma for the first time in the mid-forties and to develop it only on the neck?
