Christine:
I think you mean a Becker's nevus, but in any case, that is a benign lesion which usually appears on the back of adolescent males, and has no precancerous potential whatsoever. If the spot is growing or changing (unlikely), have your son see a dermatologist and show him or her the pathology report.
Best.
