Brief Answer: Becker nevus or actinic keratosis Detailed Answer: Hi, Please do not be bothered with the terms mentioned above. They are most often benign conditions in a child with dark macules on the sun exposed area in children. I suggest you to confirm the diagnosis with a Dermatologist locally. If they confirm the treatment is simple. The children enjoy normal life even with the above diagnosis. All the best.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
