Hi.
As per your case history of hairy nevus, my treatment advice is -
1. If the nevus is not bothering the parents then let it be as it is.
2. You can go for plastic suggestions to remove entire nevus and replace it with skin graft.
3. Other option is Nd-Yag laser done to remove hair and also fade the pigmented part of nevus. It is done after 14-16 years of age.

Consult the dermatologist for further information.

Thanks.
