There are spots over my 1/3th of upper calf and popliteal fossa. It’s been there since birth. I feel they are cafe au lait. I have one big cafe au lait over my cheek and forarm too. But i am comfortable with it. While these marks over calf are more in number and not appealing to eye and making me less confident. Is there any treatment for it?
