Can a pencil lead scar/tattoo be removed? (Photo)

Asked By:nora2878 in Bethesda, MD

I have a huge blue dot on my ankle from dropping a pencil on it when I was very young (prob 35+ years ago). Looking at the internet, I see this is a common problem, but I not see any solutions. It it possible to remove this dot with laser, as you would a tattoo, or with some other treatment? Is it likely there’s still lead embedded there?
