Can I reduce a cafe au lait birthmark at home? Or, how much would it be to remove it? (Photo)

I am 22 years old and have always had this huge birthmark on the side of my right leg. I can’t wear certain shorts and I’ve never worn a bathing suit. It has made me so insecure and self conscious. How would I be able to remove it at home or how much would it cost to professionally remove it?
