New diagnosis

my 16 year old son was just diagnosed with a becker’s nevus. I am in a sort of panic, i thought it was excema. Any advice would be appreciated. He already has learning disabilities and now has another hurdle which he did not need.

The good news is, it “isn’t cancer” which is what usually goes through your
brain first when you see a weird looking spot like that. But it does look
ugly. I am waiting to hear results from some posters who are trying a laser
treatment. Some others are doing tatoos over it. Try not to panic too
much, you aren’t alone!

Thank you so much for your reply. I am glad I found this forum, I am sure as this sinks in I will have questions, but it is good to read the posts for now. We just got the diagnosis today. And you are right, it could be much worse.
