Asked By:Picasso9 in Jacksonville, FL

Hi, I'm hoping to get an idea about what would be the best option for removing the birthmark: surgery, laser, medication, etc. It's on my chest and is about 6cm X 6cm big. Which option is best and most effective, as well as expected costs and number of treatments? I'm not a fan of how it looks, thank you in advance!
