Is it necessary to get treatment for a discolored birthmark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If they change: Discolored, or pigmented, birthmarks do carry a small risk of becoming a skin cancer. Like any pigmented skin lesions, these should be watched and if there is a change in their appearance, they should be removed.
