How can i get my birthmark removed from the back of my leg without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are many different types of birthmarks that come in many shapes and sizes. My suggestion is that you see both a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon and have them give you options. I am unaware of any proven non-surgical techniques that can help you.
