Nevus spilus (Speckled lentiginous nevus) is identified by dark spots resembling moles on top of a café-au-lait macule background. It's no longer seen as just one condition, but rather two variations have been identified: Nevus spilus maculosis, Nevus spilus papulosis. This study aims to assess how well Q switched Nd:YAG laser treatment works for nevus spilus in fifteen patients.
