Can the hair on my birthmark be removed?

March 28, 2015
Asked By:lampshade15 in Richmond, BC

I have this birthmark on my legs, its slightly brown with hair. It covers up 50% on the back of my upper legs. Its embarassing to wear shorts and I got low self esteem. I wish to remove my birthmark but is it possible? But for temporary i want to remove the hair? Do I need laser or just shave it? My friends say its not that obvious if its not for the hair. Pleaseeee thankyou
