Missing info: Birthmarks vary from innocent ones that can be ignored forever to those that occasionally give rise to cancer. Your description does not provide enough detail to suggest a label or treatment. If you need a 2nd opinion seek out another dermatologist. You might arrange a virtual consult with a dermatologist through HT. www.connect@healthtap.com.
