hi, I got beckers nevus two years ago and it isn't healing, what should I do, I went to a doctor and she said to avoid sun, but I got sunburned 3 times, first time was pretty bad. Please is there some advice you can give me to make the healing process faster?

I'm glad you had yours done by laser... i actually tried to get it done also but no luck.. the dr told me due to my skin colour (i'm asian) it would be very difficult to even lose the colour or brighten it up to look like my skin. The most you could do is lighten it but the shape and shadow would still be there... which doesn't help much so i opted out and went to a tattoo instead...ask much as it probably hurt doing the laser... the tattoo was just as painful LOL but now nobody can see it my tattoo artist was amazing as he covered it completely and people that did not know about my BN still dont know cause they just think its a dark shaded tattoo... which is great...that's a confidence booster... If you do go the way of a tattoo instead of laser...just make sure you get what you want DO NOT get something stupid as i understand you just want to have it covered up...but make sure you put some thought into it ...you hide your BN now but it would be worst if you get a horrible tattoo and then hide it... so you are just hidding the Tattoo and BN
