Abstract:
Becker's naevus is a hamartoma that often appears during puberty. Clinically this presents with a pigmented and often hairy patch most often on the shoulders. Treatment has always been challenging and lasers are often used with mixed results. This article reviews the evidence of all the laser treatments used in Becker's naevus and analyses the findings from the published studies and trials.
