Hairy black lesion since birth. kindly advice treatment.
A variable number of black, brown, or red-brown macules and papules are seen within a patch of tan-to-brown hyperpigmentation. The background pigmented macule or patch is usually 3-6 cm in diameter, but the diameter may vary from 1 cm to more than 60 cm. The lesions are usually oval, but they can be linear. Some follow the lines of Blaschko or have a sharp demarcation at the midline. An extensive amount of body surface area may be involved. The macules (speckles) and papules lying within the background patch range from lentigines to junctional, compound, or dermal nevi. Spitz nevi and blue nevi may also occur. The speckles range from 1-9 mm; most commonly, they are 2-3 mm in diameter.

63 y/o male presented with the chief complaint of a palatal lesion that was of about one month’s duration. The patient stated that about a month prior, he had started to notice roughness in his palate. No pain or numbness, no symptoms related to swallowing or speech difficulty. Examination shows no neck nodes or any other symptoms. Lesion was irregular, was flat in some areas and slightly exophytic in others. The color was not uniform. PMH is significant for rhinoplasty in 1985, malignant melanoma of the skin in 2008 successfully treated with surgery. No history of smoking. Could it be Drug-associated hyperpigmentation or Systemic disease or anything else?
