I'm a 29 yr old mixed female, and developed Beckers Nevus when I was 11 during puberty on my upper left shoulder area (below collar bone and on shoulder to where a cap sleeve shirt ends). It was VERY dark (I'm caramel color), and spread until I was 12 when it stopped "activity". However, there is no hair, just regular hair follicles, nothing abnormal. So...since 12 its stated the same and is much lighter. I've had 2 biopsies and everyone says there are no lasers that will work because its epidermal, and because of my skin tone....and, because they still have no clue. Yet we can fly into space, have Ipads and technology, but no advanced into Beckers Nevus? C'Mon! I'm tired of wearing DermaBlend, which beverages matches my skin anyway, can't get too much sun exposure, can't wear tube tops or regular tank tops.....ugh, can you tell I'm frustrated???
