Description

<p>Spilus nevus and Becker’s nevus are commonly treated using a Q-switched ruby laser (QSRL). Spilus nevus with no smooth edge on the periocular or the cheek and Becker’s nevus resulted in improvement using QSRL only. (extensive fading in almost 60%) However, Spilus nevus located on an extremity or with a smooth edge tended to have higher average rates of recurrence after QSRL. (extensive fading in almost 20%). A combined laser therapy and maintenance therapy may therefore be used in the future to obtain a better response to treatment.</p>
