Becker’s hairy nevus (mole) – can it be removed

Dr. Irwin
April 25, 2015
Hi doctor hoping the best of your health.mam I am suffering from skin problem named as Becker neavus on my right shoulder.mam please suggest me such a medicine or cream which I used to remove it.

Unfortunately, the only way to remove these currently is with surgery.   Please don’t waste your time or money on any medications or creams.   Sometimes it’s possible to do laser hair removal to just remove the hair which may be helpful.  Each hairy nevus is slightly different so you’ll need to consult your nearest laser expert.

Hope this helps, and good luck!  Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
