Becker's nevus es una afección cutánea común caracterizada por una mancha pigmentada con crecimiento adicional de vello en un lado del cuerpo. A menudo se trata con láser, aunque existen otras opciones. Se han utilizado diferentes tipos de láseres, solos o juntos, con longitudes de onda que van de 504 a 10. 600 nm y sesiones que van de 1 a 12. Los resultados varían, pero combinar láseres con diferentes longitudes de onda parece funcionar mejor. Los efectos secundarios suelen ser enrojecimiento de leve a moderado. Si bien los láseres son generalmente seguros, brindan una efectividad moderada (no excelente) para el nevo de Becker.
