How young can a child be to have a large birthmark removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Many things come into consideration including: the health of the child, the size and location and type of birthmark, and post-operative risk. I suggest you see a surgeon and have a lengthy discussion about the risks vs benefits of having the procedure done.
