Spotted brown birthmark removal and fade options? (photo)

May 5, 2017
Asked By:aussiemike in Brisbane, AU

I'm wondering what treatment options are available to help remove this type of pigmented birthmark, as well as how well it may respond to treatment. I'm not sure exactly what this type of birthmark is: It is light brown with spots around the edges and ever so slightly raised. I'd like to now whether it is likely to respond to treatment before I book to see a specialist. Thanks!
