Becker’s Nevus:

• Is also known by the names:
  • Becker’s melanosis
  • Becker’s pigmentary hamartoma
  • Nevoid melanosis
  • Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus
• Usually affects 1 in 200 young men, and is sometimes seen in young women
• Usually appears around the age of 12 to 14
• Is usually located on a shoulder, the side of the chest or the upper back
• Sometimes may consist of a flat brown patch anywhere from 5 cm to 25 cm in diameter and usually increases slowly in size
• Often has an increased number of dark hairs in it, compared with the surrounding skin
• Is of unknown cause, but 25% of cases are triggered by a sunburn
• Is benign – not malignant or cancerous
  • It is extremely rare for skin cancer to develop within a Becker’s nevus, but it is still important to notify your doctor of any changes in size, shape or colour of the lesion
