Becker’s Melanosis in Association with Ipsilateral Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus and Woolly Hair Nevus-A Coincidence or New Type of Epidermal Naevus Syndrome?

چکیده
Becker melanosis is an acquired melanosis and hypertrichosis usually in a unilateral distribution, first described in 1948 by S. William Becker. It is characterized by peripubertal development, male preponderance, hypertrichosis, occasional development of acneform lesions within the patch, and rare association with accessory scrotum in the genital region. Androgens may play a significant role in its pathogenesis [1,2].
