A member asked:

Does it happen that people get rid of light birthmarks?

Dr. Sarosh Batlivala answered

Specializes in Pediatric Cardiology

Removal Is Possible: Removing light birthmarks is certainly possible. I would strongly recommend seeking medical advice as most over-the-counter lotions or bleaches do not often work. In fact, those home remedies may cause skin problems. Please see a dermatologist for further information about birthmark removal.
