What's the quickest way for a doctor to remove my birthmark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery/excision: The question is why do you want it removed? Most birth marks are benign and cause no trouble. Some are quite large and excision will be more disfiguring than the birthmark. Your best bet is to consult with a plastic surgeon and see what options are available and if you should take advantage of any of them
