What can I do about my coffee-stain birthmark?

User Avatar
dahiix
I was born with this birthmark on the lower end of my left leg, it is brown in color and rather large. I looked online and is referred to as a "coffee stain" birthmark. I saw that some referenced this was hard to remove since it is so close to skin color, and may come back from sun exposer? I am VERY self concious, never wear shorts because of this. It darkens in sun. What can I do about this? How much? Can I get it removed? Please list contact info for someone who can help in the wa area!
