Anyone Else Suffer From.....
Becker's Naevus?! Only found out I had it a few weeks ago after having it for years! Its like a birth mark which only becomes apparent when you are about 13/14. Was gutted to hear that there is no cure for it  Laser treatment could reduce the effects... heres hoping!
I read that it occurs in 1 in every 200 males, anyone else have this shit?! 
"Becker's naevus
A Becker's naevus is a late-onset birthmark occurring mostly in males. It is due to an overgrowth of the epidermis (upper layers of the skin), pigment cells (melanocytes) and hair follicles. It develops during childhood or adolescence on the shoulders or upper trunk, occasionally elsewhere.
It is also known as Becker melanosis.
It is thought that it may be triggered to develop by circulating androgens (male hormones such as testosterone), which is why it appears in males at puberty."
"Features of Becker's naevus
A Becker's naevus is a large one-sided brown patch, sometimes over half the upper back or chest. After puberty it often becomes darker and quite hairy, a feature also called hypertrichosis. Occasionally acne may develop in the naevus."
