Can this dark skin birthmark on my face be removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for consultatn: A visit wit a dermatologist can help determine whether a given birth mark can be removed. Some can be lightened with laser treatment while with some, no method short of surgical removal would help, and the scar left after the procedure would make that unwise.

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?
