A member asked:

I'm not sure if i have nevus depigmentosus because there is dark hair growing on the areas of my face that don't have pigment. so can i repigmentate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt it: You can see your dermatologist to clarify but I would be surprised that the hair would repigment.

A member asked:

Hello great doctors out there! I was wondering if it is safe to use hair dye/bleach if one were born with a "birthmark" on head? I just self-researched on what type of birthmark I have and I guess I have the one called "nevus sebaceous". Thank you?
