Rationale: Melasma is a condition caused by hormonal influences on melanin production and is noted by the appearance of blotchy brown macules across the cheeks and forehead. Skin that is uniformly dark in color describes vitiligo. Very pale skin with little pigmentation and patches of skin that have loss of pigmentation refer to normal variations in skin color.

This type of leader is a talk with the members type of leader to gain input and facilitate decision making by the group.
