Can I use a TCA peel for a port wine stain birthmark? (Photo)

This may be a congenital nevus and can be responsive to Q switch laser. A test area would be ideal. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

A TCA peel will probably not improve your port wine stain birthmark.  A laser treatment with a pulsed dye laser is one of the most common treatment for this skin condition.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who has extensive experience treating port wine stains.  Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
