Becker's nevus is also known as Becker melanosis. It is a benign lesion which can be presented as congenital or acquired with hairless or hypertrichotic lesions. It's a rare case which affects mainly male individuals. It is often pigmented and gets darker by time and excessive hair growth can be seen over it.

Becker's nevus est communis cutis conditio propria pigmentata, commissura cum pilis extra incrementum in una parte corporis. Cum laseribus saepe tractatur, quamquam aliae optiones existunt. Genera laserorum varii, soli vel simul adhibiti, cum longitudinibus a 504 ad 10 600 nm et sessionibus a 1 ad 12. Variantur inter se, sed laseribus combinatis cum diversis longitudinibus melius operantur. Effectus lateralis plerumque lenis, cum rubor moderatus. Dum laseribus plerumque tutae sunt, mediocrem (non optimam) efficientiam pro Becker's nevus praebent.
