Can my Birth Mark Be Removed?

I agree that the laser may be an effective way to treat your birthmark. My suggestion would be, however, to do a test patch before treating the whole lesion. Often with larger lesions I'll do a small area and watch it for a month. If it works great, if not, we're not looking at much more invasive and costly repair work.

My advice would be to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience in laser removal of this type of vascular lesion. I was associated with an excellent dermatologist who perfromed nearly magical work with lesions such as yours. A test spot should be performed first to ensure that the laser being used (usually a pulse dye) is the appropriate one for you. Also, the proper fluence must be assessed and that you heal well. Good luck.
