Is there a way to remove this huge birthmark on my thigh or is it impossible? (Photo)

Asked By:bambii_xx in Atlanta, GA

I was born with a birthmark on my thigh that was small when I was a baby. I'm 21 now and it's grown a lot as I did and I'm extremely self conscious about it. I never wear shorts or mini skirts and always avoid going to the beach. It now covers the front of my thigh and a bit of the sides and it does grow a bit more hair than the rest of my body. Is there a possibility that I could have removed?
