Becker's Naevus with Increased Hair Growth
Becker's naevus with increased hair growth. Becker's naevus (melanosis naeviformis Becker-Siemens) resembles pityriasis versicolor. The patch does not scale at all (when scraped), the periphery is "archipelago-like", and boys usually have a higher than usual hair growth in the patch area. See also pictures Becker's Melanosis on the Back and Becker's Naevus.
