Melasma/brown patches on face

I developed Melasma on my face. Which are brown patches normally affecting women. Has anyone else experienced this? Some reports say it is estrogen related. Could this be propecia related?

I’ve since stopped taking propecia for last 3 months. How long does it take for hormones to balance out??
