i have becker nevus and it sucks its on my lower back and wraps around to my front top leg ill live though we all will live and get married live lifeeee

i ve it on my left shoulder and a part of arm, i am a girl, bout to get married, i am having lot of fears,, but i ve made up my mind,not feel awkward bout it, i feel its my lucky charm , ve always been lucky, i simply attribute my luck to it.. v r unique.. i ve used hydroquinone cream, it has lightened it .. but still visible.. v ll live it..

I cannot remember how long i have "suffered" like this. I tend to see myself as special as apposed to different. I have learn't to deal with people looking at me and i get a lot of the "wolf" jokes, I'm 33 and just get on with things, my upper left arm is "Hairy" but had dark skin from my left elbow up to my neck but have no problem going topless(as a man). People in life suffering much worst than me with terminal conditions, i'll get on with it.

I'm 17 and I've got beckers nevus, it totally ruins my confidence. 15 cm in diameter and is growing wider in some parts.

I hate it soo much, I can never wear a white shirt (without a t-shirt underneath) lol. And I've got some on my neck.

its seems that everyone that has beckers nevus has it on their upper body. I actually have it on the back of my left leg. it really sucks because I wish I could wear shorts, but I get emabarrased when people stare at it. since I'm tan, my nevus is a bit darker than what lighter people would have. I went to my dermatologist, and he said surgery isn't recommended espcially because it may leave scarring. I guess ill just get a tatto like scott ian(search him up : ) or something.
and by the way my nevus starts a bit above my ankle and stops halfway to my thigh. and its only on the back side.

I'm 42 years old & have had a beckers nevus on my shoulder & arm for 30 years now. There are times when it gets me down, but after having tried laser treatment & skin bleaching creams I've now resigned myself to the fact that I'm stuck with it. If I need to wear something that exposes my shoulders I can cover it with make up to some degree. It hasn't really effected my life, I've been married for 19 years to a gorgeous man who couldn't care less and neither of our children have inherited my condition (they are 14 & 16 years old). Let's face it…it's no big deal really.

There is nothing you can do accept shave and possibly try and wax it hair removel creams dont work Ive used every possible kind. Shaving works but you eventually get ingrown hairs you also get this with waxing. I am embaressed to show my body off at the beach and cant take pride in my body so I loose weight gain muscle then put on weight again.

Sometimes I do feel like a freak but what can you do? I dont belive it is a skin disorder at least just having a hairy back and chest in the west weve became obsessed about hairless bodys. Go to Russia and India and the middle east and body hair is not frowned uppon and is looked uppon as a great male attribute. So my advice is dont dispair were more manly then most men

One more thing guys, Don't let it lead you're life mates… Do like i do, I got it 2 and i'm not embaressed about it anymore… I've learned to live with it and i go to the beach and all that other stuff. Like i said before,, we are UNIQUE!!!!

hi, i got this nevus of becker on the left shoulder. It's quite an every day suffering with this disease. anyone who knows how to deal with it. physically and psychologically?

I think get over it. I don't mind it. It's all over my back and my arm. Shave it back a bit and its cool. Don't worry about it. Make a thing of it, its unique :-) X
