Does laser treatment worsen the appearance of birthmark?
I have avery large cafe au lait birthmark on my neck, I was considering laser treatment but then I was told that this treatment will only make it look worse and may lead to scaring. Is this true? I was also told that laser removes pigmentation and I would be left with a white patch. Therefore, it would only look worse.
