Summary:Becker's nevus (BN) is a benign hamartoma that may present as a distressing cosmetic problem. The treatment of BN poses a significant challenge as current therapeutic modalities are suboptimal and have an increased risk of adverse effects, such as scarring and dyspigmentation. We present the use of non-ablative fractional laser therapy combined with Q-switched Nd:YAG laser as a possible therapeutic option for BN treatment and review relevant literature to discuss its efficacy and limitations.
