How to lighten cafe au lait birthmark? (Photo)

Joss27
Im 18 and I have a little birthmark between my cheek and my mouth. The inside of the mark has those little dotted birthmarks (idk what they're called). Since its close to my mouth everyone always thinks i have dirt or food and it makes me self conscious. Is there a way to lighten it? Naturally specifically. I can't afford those fancy laser removals. Thanks! By the way, the picture sucks but it's the best i could find.
